Never get involved with an RJ when sleep is on the line…
(5:30 am, the house is silent, in darkness; a pair of eyes pop open…)
RJ: Mom?
RJ: Excuse me, Mom?
Mom: Mrph.
RJ: Next year? For my birthday? Can I have a kraken piñata?
Mom: Mrph.
RJ: Please?
Mom: Mrph.
RJ: Please? Say yes.
Mom: Yes.
RJ: It has to have tentacles.
Mom: Uh huh.
RJ: And make sure it has suckers on it.
Mom: Sure thing.
(Puts pillow over her head and tries to pretend that RJ isn’t really up for the day.)
