the kitten inside Adrian's nose

9 December, 2008. 1.18am.

Claire's inner monologue (CIM): What is that noise?
[oscillating high pitched whining noise]
CIM: There it is again, what is that? [becoming more awake]. Is that a kitten outside? Where is Bean? He will be up and interested if it is a kitten.
Claire: Adrian, my love, can you wake up? I think there's a kitten outside.
Adrian: Huh?
C: I think there's a kitten outside the window, can you come and have a look with me?
CIM: How annoying, just as he wakes up it stops.
[whining noise repeats itself].
C: see? Listen, there it is again!
[whining noise repeats itself].
CIM: dammit, that's Adrian's nose.
A: You dork, that's my nose. Look! I can make the kitten noise on demand!
[whining noise repeats itself].
CIM: crap.
C: Can you come and look with me anyway?
[both get up and go to the other bedroom and look out the window in the dark].

Back in bed:
A: That is so a case of hearing what you want to hear.
CIM: Stupid nose.

It's hard to get back to sleep at 1.20 in the morning when you can't stop giggling.
