"Jeremiah, Hey babe, babe, wake up". Emma said as she continued shaking him to get him up. "What is it Babe?" Jeremiah asked groggily, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "I can't sleep and I'm really hungry for some chocolate ice cream and pickles." Groaning, Jeremiah rolled out of bed, and, being the good husband that he was, went searching for her latest craving. This is ridiculous, he thought. Pickles and ice cream at 3 in the morning? This can't possibly be normal.
