sleepover night | Sangent - The Daily Ramblings

My brother was having a sleepover.

My parents didn’t want them to stay up late, which is perfectly understandable.

I am assigned to stay up and constantly go downstairs to check on them. I listen to the door, and if I hear any electronics, I tell them to go to bed.

So I go down at 11:00, I walk ever so gingerly so as not to disturb them, I listen veeeeerry carefully, I hear a TV on, I tell them to go to bed and the turn off the TV.

Then I go down at 1:30, I have to do it muuuuch softer now, I walk slowly, slowly, slowly and geeeenntly place my ear against the door, I hear voices, I tell them to go to sleep and the become quiet.

Then I go down at 2:30, At this point I am very tired, so I walk Veeeerrry slowly and carefully so I don’t wake them up. I gently put my ear against the door and very quietly listen, YES they are finaly asleep.

It is at this point I’m putting too much weight on the door as I am leaning on it. It swings open and I fall down the stairs causing enough noise to wake the dead.

I was never given the job again.
