Old Phoebe

It took me a while to get back to our apartment. I got to the building Okay and all it was just the guy on the elevator door. I told him to take me up to a different apartment on the floor below but they were out it took me forever to convince him to let me up. It was dark as hell when I opened the apartment door. I crept up to D.B's room coz that's where Phoebe sleeps when he's away. I woke her up. She wakes up quite easily. All you have to say is wake-up and boom! She's awake. I explained to her about the Little Shirley Beans record, she didn't care though, she kept the pieces. We started to chew the fat for a bit. I asked her about her Christmas play and all, but you can't fool Old Phoebe she asked why I was back early. Bang! She figured it out. She started ranting about how Daddy was gonna kill me. She flopped on her stomach on the bed and put a goddam pillow over her head. She wouldn't take it off. I kept tellin' her to take it off but she didn't. You can't even reason with her sometimes.
