Dancing Without Rhythm

I wonder how long it will take me to realize and not be surprised everytime--Benja notices EVERYTHING.

As Benja was stalling for bedtime, I started opening the long awaited DVD I got in the mail from BB. Benja had been talking nonstop trash--like, "I'll only go to bed if you shake me up like salt and pepper" and "I'm gonna throw you in the trash" and "If you don't say I go to bed I'll say you're being nice and let you get out---is that a good idea?" so obviously I was not listening to him, much. I have my self-esteem to consider.

Then he says, "I hope it's a lion movie and that you are going to let me watch it for 5 minutes." Lion movies are the ones where the lion roars at the beginning, is that MGM? Of course, I never notice the lion because that's not what the movie is---but he always gets so excited with all the lion movies we get. I tell him he's not watching, he's going to bed. He says, "Why, are you watching the rest of the merriment?"

Huh?

The rest of the merriment!

I have no idea what you are saying Benja, what are you talking about?

That show you watch every night, The restive the merriment.

The show I watch frequently, long after he's gone to bed.

Arrested Development.
