Room For More
Wyatt:
MAMA! MAMA!
Me:
Dude, chill out. It's 5 a.m.
Wyatt:
You're not Mama.
Me:
She's right there, holding your brother.
Boone:
Yeah, bro. Wait your turn.
Wyatt:
He's had plenty of time.
Me:
Boone's sick. Your mom's comforting him.
Wyatt:
I want Mama now!
Boone:
I may be here for a while.
Wyatt:
Then, I'll just scream until you're done.
Me:
What's your problem with me?
Wyatt:
How long do you have?
Me:
Look, pal. It's way too early for this. You're brother's got a fever. He's having trouble sleeping—
Boone:
It's true. Mama's helping.
Me:
So, either let me comfort you or go back to sleep.
Wyatt:
Okay. I know how you can help.
Me:
Great. How?
Wyatt:
Pick me up and put me in Mama's arms.
Me:
There's no room.
Boone:
Sure there is. I can scoot over.
Me:
Fine... Here you go. You're both in Mama's lap. Enjoy. I'm going back to bed.
Wyatt:
Wait. You need to make us bottles.
Boone:
Yeah, dude. Bottles.
Wyatt:
Bottles.
Boone:
Bottles.
Me:
Fine! I'll make bottles!
Wyatt:
Dude, chill out.
