A Story from Sydney's Return

Dad reminded me of the night Sydney returned after being missing for more than 48 hours. I had gone to sleep, but Dad stayed up. It was 2 a.m., and Sydney came to the back patio door, which is near Dad's computer. Sydney yelled to be let in, and Dad couldn't believe that it was really her that time because he had heard her before but she wasn't really there.

Dad knocked on my bedroom door.

Dad: Do you want to see a hungry cat eat?
Me, waking up slowly: Huh?
Dad: Do you want to see a hungry cat eat?
Me: Is it Sydney?

Dad thought that was a funny question. I was going to be really annoyed if he was waking me up to show me a YouTube video. I shouldn't be responsible for what I say when being woken up.
