The lid shut with a clank. Loud in the silence.
"My little, one, very very little."
The chest hissed as it was dragged across the wood floor.
"Do you know what today is?"
"My birthday?"
"No, silly."
The chest cluncked down the stairs.
"Do I have to do everything?"
"No, mother."
"What is today?"
The chest seemed to take the air out the room as it was lifted.
"Today?"
"Yes."
"Oh, we are moving the chest!"
"Yes, Daniel, very good."
An engine started up, big semi.
"Do you know what I hate, Daniel?"
"Disappointments, bad food, and reruns?"
"Very good. But my hate is singular."
The chest hissed and then was silent.
"Do you like the clothes I bought you?"
"Yes, very much."
"You do know I am not your mother?"
"Yes."
"Then do me a favor."
"What?"
Rats. I am tired and must sleep.
