'Your night writing book, madam.'

"You go on in, I’m just going to catch up with the moon for a few minutes."

Man's dentures hold cigar.

"If you don't want the light to keep shining in your eyes, stop asking me how much longer I'm going to read."

"No, you can't go to the rock concert! It's vital you don't damage your hearing!"

"I think I'll sleep in tonight!"

"No dear - there are no malcontents at odds with society under your bed."

The Perils of Reading Ghost Stories Before Bed.

Oh, come on. Don't think of this as 'going to bed.' Think of this as a short break between nighttime naughtiness and morning mayhem.

"Charles! Enough with the mulch!"

The Invention of Reading in Bed.

'Say babe, wanna go to my place for a daycap?'

"You're early - trash day's not till thursday."
