Several people were in the dorm hallway, kind of a tired-but-resting pile of (i)going to get to eat(i). (i)Dawgs(i). That's how we say it in Jersey."
"Her feet."
"You live in a cow?"
(i)ssssshhhh(i).
Behind a dorm room door an older child told the little kids, "Show him. Show the man how we do the Dougie."
"But we need our pajamas on!"
The man's eyebrows went up and down.
"Just pretend."
Kids started to get in the beds and there were more kids than beds so some wound up shoved on the floor. "Pretend the floor is your bed."
"Where is this going?" A woman demanded to know.
"No where since it's hard to pretend while being so stared at."
"What is it? This Dougie thang?"
"Sort of a dance or orchestra of children getting proper for bedtime. Even smiling and just falling asleep!"
"Why call it a man's name?"
"HE'S THE BEST ONE!" A small boy crossed his arms and stuck out his tongue at the woman. "I can be ugly too Lady."
"Where is the man?"
"On another bone dig," a little girl in pigtails said. "He's a Science guy."
"Is it the Science academics coming now?"
"We want you to open the door and get (i)our(i) grownups now."
One of the mothers in the hallway pushed the door open from her keyhole peek pose. She sign-languaged "Everything okay?" Some of the kids went into yoga poses.
