let me entertain you

Scene: 6.30am, bedroom.

A toddler is standing quietly at the end of a bed, containing two sleeping parents.

Toddler: "Winkle, winkle...ar. Howa wona...ar. Uppa bubba worl...ayyy. Winkle, winkle...ar." (claps) "YAY!"
[pause]
"Pull, pull. Tap, tap, tap."*
[pause]
"Buh buh back seep, wool. Yessa yessa."
[pause]
"Row row row row row row row."

Parents remain under the covers with eyes closed, shaking the bed with uncontrollable giggling.
