The Princess and the Tree

Thursday night.

Midnight.

SCCRRRAAATTTCCCHHH

WHIP

BANG

SOUNDS LIKE MICE SCURRYING THROUGH THE WALLS AND/OR A BURGLAR TRYING TO SCALE THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE

Me: Shut UP!

A tree whips around, improbably, to hit the front of the house.

Me: Daddy! Someone is trying to break in to my room!

My mom: Are there mice in the walls?

My dad: I'll go take care of this.

Half an hour later...

My dad: I cut down some branches.

At midnight. He went outside and cut down branches.

Cut to 3 a.m.

Me: Oh my GOD! Will this wind never stop? That's IT, I'm putting in earplugs!

Friday morning, 9 a.m.

A co-worker: Hey, where's your smile?

Me: I'll TELL you where my smile is.
