A\N: And yet more...
This isn't literally based off my sister, save for the joke. But it's more than slightly typical...
ALYSSA
I know a funny joke.
I laugh when Mommy tells it to me, and then she sets me down. "Go find something to do, okay?"
"Okay, Mommy." I walk out. What is there to do?
I sigh. I'm bored.
I know! I'll tell Murta the funny joke!
I walk over to his room and run into the door.
CLANK-CRASH!
"Son of a witch's cat!"
I giggle. "Murta!" I call. I like his name. It's a silly name. "Murta, come out!"
Murta opens the door, his hair messy. "It's two in the morning, Lyssa." He says. He sounds grouchy. That's silly.
"It's two thirty o'clock?" I ask.
"Yeah. It's bedtime." Murta says.
I run down the hall and to the window. It's not bedtime! It's bright out!
I run to Murta's room and run into the door again.
"What?" Murta yells.
"Open the door, Murta!"
"Murtagh." He grumbles, opening it. "What is it, for dragon's sake?"
"It's not two thirty o'clock." I tell him. "It's morning. It's bright out."
"Riders bless..."
Hey, I'm telling him a joke! Right!
"I know a funny joke." I tell him.
He looks at me. "What." He says.
I forget the joke.
Uh-oh! What do I say?
Then I remember my rhyme. Mommy said it was silly. I bet Murta'd like it.
"Sunflower seeds are from the sun, fart, fart, fart." I sing, then giggle. Fart is a funny word!
"Sunflower..." Murta looks like he does when I say that the sky is green. "Lyssa?"
"Yeah?"
"Bedtime."
The door shuts.
I frown. No! I wanna play with Murta.
I pout, then get a better idea.
I start singing loudly. "Sunflower seeds are from the sun, fart, fart, fart. Sunflower seeds are from the sun..."
