Late Night Ritual






























"Don't touch me!"
"What you going to do?"
"Deeeeeennnnnnissss!"
"Yarrrrgh"
These are the sweet sounds that guide me to sleep at night.
The night isn't complete without one essential component: Sissy fighting.

There is no crime that isn't worth a couple of slaps to the face. Shoes put in the wrong place? A badly timed fart? Slap some retribution into your roommate. In this case the crime was : boredom. Ah, how boredom creates some of america's best time-burners. Television, internet entertainment, blogging, nachos, and of course the ultimate form : napping.

Still, watching these two go about it like monkeys fighting for a plastic banana, I can't help but wonder how parents keep their sanity. These two are college students, granted in this case you can't tell. I can't imagine dealing with this slapping fistycuffs in the movie theater, in the mall, at the restaurant. It is no wonder my mom has developed a voice that defrosts frozen chicken, and a finger strength of a pair of pliers. And lord help me, I will probably do the same.

I laugh when I think of the educational level I am at now, and eventually with my own little spawn, what educational level I will display!

"What the monkey is the matter with you!!!! This is not a gymnasium!! This is a restaurant!! People eat here!!!! Food is not for mashing into your brother's face!!!!! Yarrrrrrgh!!!"

Brilliant
