Yelling Them To Sleep (A Fake Conversation)

Wyatt:
If you push this button, the lights change color.

Boone:
Huh. How clever.

Me:
Guys!

Boone:
What?

Me:
It's 10 o'clock at night. Go to sleep!

Wyatt:
Well, I can't sleep with you yelling at me like that.

Me:
You should not be out of bed.

Boone:
If you didn't want us wandering around, you shouldn't have given us these new beds.

Wyatt:
Yeah, the whole room beckons us to play.

Me:
The whole... Get in bed!

Boone:
Dude, chill out. So, we're not sleeping. What's the big deal?

Me:
I don't want you to learn bad sleeping habits.

Wyatt:
Like coming in here and yelling at us is a good habit.

Me:
Bed! Now!

Boone:
Calm down, Atilla.

Wyatt:
Fine. We're in bed. How about dialing it back a bit?

Me:
Thank you. Now, go to sleep.

Boone:
That's not going to happen.

Me:
What? Why?

Wyatt:
We were all relaxed until you came in here shouting.

Boone:
Want to play with the Legos, Wyatt?

Wyatt:
Wait until Papa leaves.

Boone:
Oh, right... Goodnight, Papa.
