It was 2 a.m. in the morning. Dad had just left for work and Mom was trying to get some sleep for her finals the next day. I was bored with the usual routine and decided it was time for a little excitement. The first thing I did was break out of the water cage I had been in for so long. I could hear and feel Mom squirm off her comfy bed and run to the shower. I was surprised with how calm she was when she called Dad to try to get me in trouble for being so rambunctious. He didn’t sound upset either. What do I have to do to get a reaction out of these people? Geez. Dad came home an hour later when he got a replacement for him at work and then he and Mom decided that they would have to punish me. Mom gave me a ride in her belly to the hospital, but she kept trying to push me out of her. After five hours of fighting with her, I finally gave in as she kept pushing me. I got the last laugh though cause I came out kickin’ at 8:15 a.m., Thursday, July 17, 2008.
