When you go to bed at 2am, this is the middle if the night...

[clayhornik]

I just let the cat in about forty minutes ago and he dashes into Quinn's room.  I then hear Q, suddenly awake, talking to the cat.  "Get down from there." Not Q's usual greeting.  I go in to get the cat, who's on his dresser and book case... I take him to the living room and he runs back to Q's room.  There's a bird in there.

The bird flies into the living room and I shut Kreskin in Q's room.  He asks me if I've seen the bird and without the lights on or contacts in, I haven't seen anything.  We open the front door and I get the broom from the kitchen, waking Perry in the process.  "Go back to sleep, you're dreaming" I tell him.  "When you go to bed at 2am, this is the middle if the night..." is what he tells me, annoyed.  I give Q the broom and he manages to chase the poor little bird out.

Q speculates that perhaps K brought the bird in, in his mouth.  "Did you see it?" he asks.  Without my contacts, I don't see much.

  He releases Kreskin so I can fix the morning's bowl of 9Lives and goes back to bed.

Kreskin is... confused, looking for the bird.  He takes solace in his pate'.  I'm going to read a little before returning to bed.
