As soon as he was out the door, I quietly got up from the bed, and gingerly closed the door. Then, I hopped back in bed, and stretched my arm into the area below my bed. I grabbed the Talkboy hidden underneath. I rewound the tape in it so I could hear the golden words that had transformed Father from an old fart of a prank hater into a closet prankster.
"Father, I am suing you!"
"There is a thin line between genius and insanity."
"Hah ha ha ha!!"
I smiled as I listened to these lines. When my Talkboy was done, I kissed it, and whispered.
"I don't know what I would have done without you."
Then, I placed it under the bed, and closed my eyes to go to sleep, and be well rested for a very much less strenuous day assisting my stepfather in his labs.
