Overheard at Bedtime (Past Bedtime, Actually)

[BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING]

Bump: (thundering as he bursts into the kids' bedroom) This doesn't sound like sleeping; this sounds like two kids jumping on the bed.

[Immediate THUNK as Lumpyhead flattens against his mattress]

[Also BOING BOING BOING]

Bump: (exasperated) That sounds like one kid jumping on the bed.

[BOING BOING BOING]

Bump: Lie down, Baby.

[BOING . . . BOING . . . BOING . . .]

Bump: (firmly) Lie down.

[Pause]

[THUNK]

Bump: Good night, sweeties. Now go to sleep.

[DOOR CLOSES]

There's nothing like two kids in cahoots. Just wait until Lumpyhead can drive.
