Scene from this morning

Darkened hotel room, sometime around the seven o'clock hour. Mom and Dad in one bed. 2-year-old boy alone in adjacent bed. 2-year-old boy half-stands up in his bed, bounces once, soundly smashes his head into the headboard, then promptly lies back down without so much as a peep, while Mom and Dad silently cringe at what they suppose to be his pain.

Later that same morning:


Mom: Weston, did you sleep well?

Weston: Yes.

[pause]

Weston: I went swimming!

Mom: I don't think we'll be able to go swimming this morning.

Weston: No. I went swimming.

[pause]

Weston: In my bed.

Mom (to herself): Sounded like there wasn't much water in the pool.
