Yelling

The "conversation" went like this:

Me: "Kids? (pause) KIDS?! (pause) Kids?!"
Kids: (silence)
Me: "Kids!?"
Z and B: "WHAT!?"
Me: "M locked me in the storage room downstairs!"
Kids: "Oh!"
Me, as I waited for the boys to come rescue me, "I guess I'll vacuum in here."

Ten minutes later....

Me: "Z, I thought you were gonna come unlock the door!"
Z: "Why don't YOU unlock it!?"
Me: "I'm LOCKED IN!" Come OPEN IT!"
Z: (footsteps down the stairs, door opens, then...) "Why do you have to KEEP on YELLING?!"
