things that go bump in the night

Happy Friday the 13th--in October. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Is it a full moon too?

Last night the house was full of noises. Before bed time, Juma heard the upstairs neighbor stomp around, and asked "What was that? Was it a ghost?"

Then at 1am, the neighbor started stomping around again, stomp, stomp, stomp!
And I have a cold, so I was going cough, cough, cough!
And Juma had to use the bathroom, so he was going, Mom, Mom, Mom!
And a mouse found its way under the couch, and was going nibble, nibble, nibble.
And a police siren stopped a car on the street, going Wee-ooo, wee-ooo, wee-ooo.

And we couldn't sleep.

Hi guys,

We do miss living at Whitehall, even though we had mice running across our apt., and firealarms going off at unholy hours...Anyway, enjoy Yale while you can.

We had a fire alarm at 6am the other day. And no one left the building. The boy who cried wolf, anyone?
