Gee, dad you rock.
Thanks Zim. See how it is when ya practice?
Yeah, yeah I know. I heard it all before.
Zim, don't be a smarty pants. Spouse can't you play something I know?
Ok. I'll play something real old. Would that make you happy?
Yeah. Ya otta know some really old stuff. You're the one with the birthday coming up and with you being soooo old you should know a very old song.
That's not funny Y2b! So what if I'm turning forty-four. It doesn't make me old.
If you're not old why do ya take so many naps?
That's a good one mom.
Cut it out yall or I'll tell a ghost story.
No spouse, don't even start that again.

Can't I stay up too mom?

No Zim.

Mom, how come dad gets to stay up?
There's not much I can do about it. Your dad is a grown man and I guess can stay up all night. He is the one that will pay for it.

I know but I wanted to star gaze too.

Zim, honey it's time for sleeping. Maybe tomorrow night instead of roasting marshmallows we'll look at the stars.

Ok mom.

a man and woman. They were both carrying guns. I guess they were just a couple of rangers. They didn't say anything just walked throught the camp. It was weird, I know. I mean why would rangers be out in the middle of the night? Well it bothered me a little so I had to sit down. Then... this part you won't believe.

Ahh come on dad, I'm not hurting anything.
Zim you know the old saying about playing with fire.
Yeah mom I know. It'll make ya pee the bed.
Well it's late we better hit the hay. Zim that means you.
Yall go ahead. I'm gonna stay up a little while, look at the stars.

Spouse, you have to get back to a normal routine. We'll be going home soon and getting back to work.

So while I was sitting there all of a sudden there was a man dressed funny. He was trying to get in the fish basket. He had a big sword so I wasn't about to stop him. Ya know. And when I was looking at him this girl came ridding up on a horse. She was just trotting all around. I got really confussed then because I when I looked at the tent. Thinkin I should go wake you up. Right there in front of me was an egyptian lady. She was just staring at me. For the longest time. I'm telling ya, it was creepy.
