A short comedic YouTube monologue by Scott Empringham ("The 'I'm Ready' Saga") about the familiar domestic situation where a wife/mother repeatedly says "I'm ready" but then delays, and the husband and son habitually wait, doubt the claim, or ignore it—leading to humorous exchanges about timing and the tone of "I'm ready."

Men, do you still get ready when your wife says, I'm ready, or do you wait 5, 10, 15 minutes? Now, here's what Nick and I typically do. When his mom, my wife says she's ready, I usually don't listen. Not that I don't listen, but you know what I mean. Men. You know what I mean? I go, yeah, right, because I'm ready. I was ready 20 minutes ago, 30 minutes ago, an hour ago. But I made the mistake after the third or fourth or fifth I'm ready. I thought, that's the I'm ready. That I'm waiting for you to hear the tone. You could hear the tone, and she appeared ready. Now, Nick and I are sitting in the car, and if I was to walk in there right now, you know what she'd say? That's right, man. I'm ready. I'm ready. I just have to fill in the blank. And that's the funniest part. I'm ready. I just have to means you're not ready. She goes, she's ready. She just has to fill in the blank. And I don't even listen anymore. I just have to blank. But I'm ready. I'm ready. Now she's ready.
