Get Off the PHONE!!

Alex and I were having sword fights with kitchen utensils. *grins* Mom's birthday is today, and she won't shut up! She's just blabbing on the phone.. Blah blah blah. And I want to give her her presents, yet she won't get off the phone! So, to get her attention, first I wrote in red marker on a napkin "Do you want presents or not?", drawing her blabbing on the phone. "What, you got presents?" "Who says we did?" and she continues to blab. So, to get her attention, or see how absorbed into the phone she is, we decided to do weird things. First I grabbed the spatula.. thing.. metal thing.. er.. and I proclaimed "SWORD FIGHT!!" and he grabbed a cheese grater from the drawer. We then continued to whack at each other's utensil, making clinging and clanging noises in the kitchen. "Hiyaaa! I will beat you!" *clang clang* Continued attacking each other, until Alex doubled over laughing, and I did too. Looked at mom, and oblivious and blind, she didn't even notice, though we were right in front of her. The clanging is a perfect sound affect for a sword fight, sounds exactly like it.

Next I hopped onto his shoulders and nearly hit the ceiling, and we rampaged about and he scared me, occasionally hopping on one foot or acting off-balance. Dad shakes his head at us "you guys.." Alex has to bend down so my head won't hit the doorways. Sets me down on the coffee table, and we look at mom, still blabbing away. We then go upstairs, giving up. She's still talking.
