We can blame Lacuna for this ridiculous crack too. For anyone who doesn't know, Raffi is a Canadian children's entertainer who writes incredibly annoying songs that kids seem to love. Bananaphone ended up becoming a meme back when it was released, and she challenged me to use it to end a drabble. XD
Tiptoeing out of the bedroom where Hamish's crib is, John gently closes the door. He settles down at the kitchen table, and turns the baby monitor on, and immediately both their ears are assaulted with infectious, mindless kids songs. Right now Raffi's cheerfully going on about watermelons down by the bay.
Sherlock closes his eyes, trying to concentrate, before rubbing his temples and glaring at John, who cringes and turns the volume on the monitor down, but it's not enough to muffle the music.
"John, can you please turn that rubbish off now that he's finally asleep?"
John rubs the back of his head, clearly exhausted.
"I've tried, Sherlock. I just got him down for the evening, but every time I stop the music, he wakes up and starts wailing again. I'm never going to forgive Molly for giving us this ridiculous CD. It's the only thing he wants to hear lately."
Unperturbed and blissfully happy, Raffi's voice continues to pipe through the flat as he sings nonsense about a baby beluga.
"I know he's my son and all, but Hamish can't have figured out how to operate the CD player yet. Just don't turn it on."
"Do you want to try putting him to bed without it?"
"Alright, fine. I suppose anything's better than that absurd one about the bananaphone."
