It’s 11:00 pm, and Middle Guy (who just got a brilliant almost-perfect report card, and pretty darn good SAT scores as well) is wrapping up a study group in his bedroom downstairs. He’s got two friends over, prepping for a math test tomorrow.<\/p>\n
They’re playing their music kinda loud (small objects on my office floor are rattling), and I’d like them to turn it down; but they won’t hear me from the top of the stairs, and they’re on the phone (both lines, it appears) getting outside help, so I can’t call…I may actually have to walk downstairs and knock on his door.
\n…wait! I can IM him!<\/p>\n
me: TURN IT DOWN!!
\nhim: Turn what down? I can’t hear you, the music is too loud…
\nme: OK, I’m shutting down the router then.
\nhim: NOOOOO! Ok, I’ll turn it down…<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n…and he did. Order is restored within the household, thanks to internet messaging protocols.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
