In a dark room about to fall asleep last night.
Me: *moves around the bed*
Shorty: *ignores*
Me: *moves around some more*
Shorty: Stay still I’m trying to sleep.
Me: For some reason I feel very hyper right now. Can’t seem to sleep.
Shorty: *ignores*
Me: I don’t know why… what did I drink or eat just now… why so hyper…
Shorty: *ignores*
Me: Maybe I should go and do something else.
Shorty: *ignores*
Me: Hmm… maybe I shouldn’t force myself to sleep.
Shorty: *moves aside* Ok go!
Me: Go where?
Shorty: Go do something else… get out of bed so you don’t disturb me from sleeping.
Me: Nah it’s ok. I think I’ll stay here and try to sleep again.
Shorty: Ok…
Me: *moves around bed again*
Shorty: Fatty stay still lah! I’m trying to sleep and you keep moving around making all this noise and talking so much! After I pass my sleepy phase then I cannot sleep already!
Me: Okokok *stays still*
30 seconds later
Me: Shorty…..
Shorty: *mumbles* Shut the fuck up.
