snotaproblem.AnotherexpressionwouldbesomethingIcandealwith.Todeal,“deal,”withsomethingisthesame,inthiscase,astobeabletohandlesomething.
Isaythat“gettingup”issomethingthat“Ihate.ThecoversIhaveonmybedareheavy.”Thecovers,“covers,”arethethingsthatyouputoveryoutokeepyouwarm.Usually,thecoversincludeablanket,sometimesacomforterandusually,whatwewouldcallthetopsheetorflatsheet.Acomforter,“comforter,”isaverythickblanket—averyheavyblanket.Ablanket,“blanket,”issomethingthatyouputoveryouwhenyouaresleepingtokeepyouwarm.
Blanketisageneralterm;
acomforterisakindofblanket—aheavyblanket.Theoppositeofacomforterwouldbealightblanket.Alight,“light,”blanketwouldbetheopposite,andthatisablanketthatwillkeepyouwarm,butifitgetsverycold,itmightnotkeepyouwarm—itmightnotbesufficient.
So,wehaveacomforterandwehavealightblanket.Usually,thereisatop
sheet,“sheet,”thatyouputoveryouinbetweenyourbodyandtheblankets,andthistopsheetissometimescalledaflatsheet.Thesheetthatgoesonthebeditself—thatgoesontothecornersofthebed—that'
scalledafittedsheet,afitted,“fitted,”sheet.So,wehaveafittedsheetonthebedthatyousleepontopof,thenwehaveatopsheetandthenablanket,sometimes,ifit'
sverycold,acomforteraswell.
Isayinthestorythat“Isleepwithtwopillows.”Apillow,“pillow,”iswhatyouputyourheadonwhenyousleep.Now,“forsomereason,”IsayI“havedifferentcoloredpillowcases.”Thisistrue,actually;
Ihaveablackpillowcaseandabluepillowcaseformytwopillows.IthinkthereasonisIamtoolazytogoandbuyanewpillowcase.
Well,thepillowcase,“pillowcase,”(oneword)isthethingthatyouputoverthepillowsothepillowdoesn'
tgetdirty;
wecallthatthepillowcase.Isay,“Well,atleastthesheetsmatch.”Wealreadyknowwhatasheetis.Whenwesaythesheetsmatch,“match,”wemeanthattheyarethesamecolorortwocolorsthatlookgoodtogether.Weusethatverb,tomatch,whenwearetalkingaboutclothingaswell,oranythingwhereyouhavetwocolors.
“Isometimeswakeupbeforethealarmgoesoff.”Whenwesaythealarmgoesoff,wemeanthatthealarmstartstomakeasound.Youralarm,“alarm,”isamachinethatmakesnoiseatacertaintime;
usuallyithasaclock.Well,“I
sometimeswakeupbeforemyalarm”makesnoise—myalarmgoesoff.“Iliketokeepthealarmatalowvolume,”meaningnotveryloud,“atalowvolume,withsomeclassicalmusic,nothingtoojarring.”Whenwesayasoundisjarring,“jarring,”wemeanthatitisloudanditcausesyoutojumportobesurprised.It'
ssomethingthatisnotverynice—notverypleasant.Ajarringnoisewouldbeonethatbothersyou,perhapsbecauseitisveryloudoritisnotaverynicesound.So,Idon'
twantmyalarmtohaveajarringnoise,insteadIplayclassicalmusic.
Now,“Myoldroommate”—thepersonIusedtoshareanapartmentwith—”usedtoliketheterriblebuzzeryoufindonmostalarmclocks.”This,again,istrue.Ihadaroommatethathadaveryloudandbadsoundingbuzzer;
itwasaterriblebuzzer.Thebuzzer,“buzzer,”iswhenthealarmclockdoesn'
tplaymusic,butitjustplaysasound.Sometimesitislikeabellringing;
that'
sthebuzzer.Well,thisbuzzer“alwaysusedtodrivemenuts.”Todrivesomeonenuts,“nuts,”meanstodrivethemcrazy—tomakethemcrazy—tomakethemgocrazy.
Icontinuethestorybysaying,“AsIwassaying.”Weusethatexpression,asIwassaying,whenwearetalkingaboutonethingthenwestarttalkingabouta
secondthing,andnowwewanttogobackandtalkaboutthefirstthingagain.
So,whenyouinterruptyourselfwhenyouaretalking,andthenyouchangethe
topic—changewhatyouaretalkingabout—andthenwanttogobacktoyour
originaltopic,yousay,“AsIwassaying.”
“AsIwassaying,Isometimeswakeupbeforethealarm,usuallybecauseof
somenoiseoutsidethehouse.”Whenwesaythereissomenoise—some
sound—outsidethehouseoroutsideofthehouse—youcansayeitherone—wemeanthatsomeoneismakinganoisethatisveryloud.Someofthosenoisesare“acardoorslamming.”Theverb,toslam,“slam,”meansthatyouclosethedoorusuallyveryquicklyandyoumakealoudnoise.Someoneclosestheircardoorveryfast,itwillmakeanoise;
wecallthat“slammingthedoor.”
MymotheralwaysusedtotellmewhenIwasyoung,“Don'
tslamthedoors,”
meaningwhenIcomeinandclosethedoor,Ishouldcloseitslowlyandquietly.Ofcourse,IwasnotagoodboysoIwouldsometimesslamthedoor.
AsIwassaying,analarmgoesoff,that'
sanothernoisethatcanwakeyouup

gun,“gun,”fire,“fire.”Gunfireiswhensomeoneshootsagunanditmakesanoise.Thisis,again,LosAngeles,sowesometimeshavegunfirebutofcourse,I'
mjoking.Isay,“well,okay,notgunfire,”meaningI'
mjustkidding—thatisn'
tactuallytrue,although,itistruesometimes.
Ithensay,“Man,ismyneighborhoodnoisy!
”Thatexpression,“man,”isjustawayofexpressingyouremotionwhenyouaresayingsomethingthatyoureallymeanorreallywanttoemphasize.“Man,ismyneighborhoodnoisy,”thatmeansmyneighborhoodisverynoisy.
“Ofcourse,whenI'
mstayingatahotel,it’susuallyeasiertojustgetawakeupcallfromthehotel.”Awakeupcall,“call,”iswhenthehotelcallsyouonthephonetowakeyouup,soyoudon'
thavetosetyourownalarm.Toset,“set,”analarmmeanstoturnitonandtoputacertaintimethatyouwanttogetup.Well,sometimespeoplehaveproblemswiththeiralarmclocksandso,iftheyareinahotel,theycanaskthehoteltowakethemupwithawakeupcall.
AttheendofthestoryIsay,“I’mnotreallyanearlyriser.”Anearly,“early,”riser,“riser,”meanssomeonewhowakesupandgetsupveryearlyinthemorning.Youcouldbeanearlyriser;
youcouldbealateriser.Thewordrisercomesfromtheverbtorise,“rise,”which,inthiscase,meanstogetup.Well,“I'
mnotreallyanearlyriser,”Isay,“soIdon’tjumpoutofbed.”Tojumpoutofbedmeanstogetoutofbedveryquickly.“Idon’tjumpoutofbedreadytotakeontheworld.”“Totakeontheworld,”meansI'
mreadyfortheday.It'
sanexpressionweusetosaythatIamreadytogooutintotheworldanddomybest.“I'

tjumpoutofbedreadytotakeontheworld.”Instead,“Igetupveryslowly,usuallyonefootontheflooratatime.”Sofirst,IgetupandIputonefootonthefloorandthenanotherfootonthefloor,andthenIstandup.
“Everyonceinawhile,”Isay,“I’lloversleep.”Tooversleep,“oversleep,”(oneword)meansthatyousleeplaterthanyoushould.Forexample,youarewantingtogetupatseveno'
