The time: 4 a.m.
The place: Our bed.
We wake up to the sound of Andy wrestling with our doorknob. When he gets the door open he comes in and lurks beside a half-sleeping Shawn. He mumbles something about being afraid and Shawn pulls him into bed and we all go back to sleep.
Half an hour later, Shawn wakes himself up enough to take Andy back to bed.
Shawn: What was the matter, buddy? Why did you come into our room?
Andy: I was scared.
Shawn: Why?
Andy: I heard a honking noise and it scared me.
Shawn: A honking noise?
Andy: Yeah. [pause] Oh wait, it was me. I tooted.
And he smiled at Shawn.
I need to record these things before they disappear.
