Delma should have come clean and told us that she'd been pretending to sleep.
It was the morning after yet another party night at Patrick's house and Delma was lying on a beanbag. Patrick thought that she was sleeping and said as much in conversation. Howard pointed out that she was awake. So I asked her and then, with no response, she went from resting with closed eyes to pretending to sleep.
The three of us discussed what possible motivation she could have for pretending to sleep. Eventually she couldn't stand it any longer and performed a terrible act of someone awakening. "What, what, where am I?" she asked, blinking her eyes and looking around her, stretching, trying to fake a yawn. How we laughed! She was a bad actress, that's for sure but, when reminded of the episode in the future, she'd never admit that the act wasn't real. Oh Delma! You should have owned up.
Delma is now married to a US Marine and living on a military base somewhere in the Mid West in North America.
