Early in our marriage, I told my husband I wanted to get up early, and work on the garden before it got too hot. This is when I learned how different people's definitions of a word are. To me early meant before 6 am, so I woke him up to get to work, and he stared at me, eyes half open, like I'd gone insane. He insisted that this wasn't early it was still night. Apparently, getting up early on a weekend was any time before noon. I thought this was ridiculous, but he refused to get out of bed, so I got a hoe, and used it rather loudly and violently by the window where he was sleeping; yes, petty, I know. He eventually gave up on sleep, and came out and helped me. Over the years, we have compromised on what early is, although we still disagree on what getting ready really quick means.

How about you all, what is your early? How quick do you get ready? Have you ever had a time related misunderstanding?
