The Little Tiny Room
[somewhat abridged]
Mommy: Someday, your little brother [due in just over two weeks] will sleep in your room with you.
Daddy: In a separate bed.
Mommy: Will you like it when your little brother sleeps in the same room with you?
Ben [quietly]: Yes.
[pause]
Ben: Want him to sleep in a little tiny room. [All laugh.]
Mommy: We don't have a little tiny room!
Daddy: Where's our little tiny room?
Ben: There! [points wildly]
Daddy: Where?
Ben: In the living room! Over there! [points to behind a chair]
Mommy: In the television cabinet?
Ben: Yes.
Mommy: The baby is going to sleep in the TV cabinet?
Ben: Yes!
Daddy: And the baby can watch as much TV as he wants.
Ben: The baby is going to watch videos! [laughs and laughs; all laugh.]
