Bedtime conversation

J: "In ten minutes, if you're still thirsty, you can get yourself some more water."

A: "How do I know how long ten minutes is?"

J: "Sing the ABC's to yourself five times, and if you're still thirsty, go get more water."

begins to sing out loud: A, B, C.... 

J interrupts: "Please sing in your head."

A" "I can't sing in my head!"

X, from the top bunk: "No, Ari, you just think-sing."

A: "What?"

X: "Look, Ari, I'll do it."

(silence)
