It was 11 pm. Roger and Mimi had a new baby, Ellen. On top of their 14-year-old son, Pablo plus Baby Ellen they were also caring for 36-month-old Blysse. Blysse missed mommy and daddy a lot (the 33-year-olds were going away, somewhere) they gave the dear child a CD to listen to at night.
Innocently Broken-Bee (Light Me) ended with a lullaby soft tone of the word 'me'. Not too long after that an earsplitting cry of a 3-year-old filled their apartment. Blysse missed her song a lot! Niagara fell from the child's chocolate eyes so swiftly and très brutalment that she couldn't even hear the next song (Reflection by Mulan). She woke up 3-month-old Ellen, who began crying herself. Roger decided to calm down Ellen while Mimi takes care of the baby, Blysse.
"What is wrong, Blysse Ellen Lavender Ericcson?" Mimi yelled, "Are you hungry? Did you spoil your diaper? Are you—" No she can't be hot, it's November. Elmo was snuggled in the child's arms as she whimpered, so it might not be the fact she wants a stuffie. The child placed Elmo down and signed 'Broken' and 'Bee'. Mimi ignored those signs and just went on with guessing, "You're thirsty?" Blysse cried louder. Mimi pulled her hands over her ears, to block the boisterous ruckus. Pablo woke up and from his bedroom he yelled:
"Keller to be quit!"
"What?" Mimi yelled at the door of Blysse's room.
"I've got cool! Keller be quit!" Pablo cried! Mimi still couldn't hear him. She moved into his room and closed the door, so Blysse's nonsense won't be heard. From Pablo's room you could still hear Blysse but faintly.
"What did you say?" She asked sweetly.
"I've got school tomorrow, tell Blysse to—" Pablo said.
"I know, I know. I'm on it. Goodnight." She said and left.
11:23 pm
Blysse missed her song a lot! She missed the way the Paul sang it, so calm and loving and, well, quiet. By now she wasn't just crying because she wanted her song back on, she had now pooped in her diaper and it felt very uneasy. Roger stopped by to yell "SHUT UP YOU'VE WOKEN UP ELLEN!" and went back to bed. Blysse woke up Mimi's 18-year-old niece, Esmée. But other than yelling at the kid, she decided to help Blysse.
She gave Blysse a bath and got some baby powder, some wipes a clean diaper and some new pajamas, singing Broken-Bee (Light Me) the whole time. Softly and sweetly. When it was 11:12 pm, Esmée placed the weary angelface's golden hair on the pillow, placed Elmo beside her, tucked her in and put Broken-Bee (Light Me) that kept the apartment quiet...for two-in-a-half minutes.
