My mother offered to babysit so my sister and I could see Mamma Mia. My niece has trouble sleeping outside of her normal schedule and this was the first time she fell asleep at our house, in my room.
I started the car while my sister ran in to tell our mother she should go downstairs so she could hear when the little one cried or woke up.
Mother replied, “It’s OK. I’ll hear her through the vent. I can hear noises from her bedroom through the vent.”
“I didn’t want to tell her about it so she could feel like she has her privacy.”
“BUT, I can hear noises.”
This is where my mind spun in circles and broke into a million little pieces
