Noisy night

"What's going on?"

"Nothing important Bubba. Just adult stuff."

"But why do we need to stay upstairs?"

"Because mom and dad said so."

"But I'm thirstyyyyyyy."

"Here, I left my water bottle in my bag."

"But what about you?"

"I'll be fine. We won't be up here forever."

"Mmm the adults are being noisy. Are they fighting?"

"Why would you think that?"

"There's some loud crashing noises."

"They're just playing the adult games they play every month Bubba, don't worry."

"I don't like the crashing noises."

"How about a story to cover the noise?"

"Oh! Story! You always have amazing stories."

"Aw that's so sweet Bubba. Come here, in my lap."

"Why?"

"The closer you are to me, the louder I am and the softer the adults are."

"Ok!"

"There you go. Comfy?"

"Mhm!"

"Good. I can start thinking about that story for you now Bubba."

"Ok!"

"Hopefully its long enough for them to finish their Mahjong game..."
