Hotel Problems

Trevor was staying at the Tumbleweeds Inn in Sandy Shores. He was gonna see his friend Jasper tomorrow. He was getting ready for a good night's sleep. He was exhausted.

When he fell asleep, he was awoken to the sound of kids running in the hallway. They were making a lot of noise. "Who let's their kids run around all wild at this time of the night?" mumbled Trevor. "Their parents obviously don't care how their kids act."

Then the kids were banging the door to the room where Trevor was staying. He had enough of their rambunctious behavior. He got up out of bed, and opened the door.

"Shouldn't you kids be in bed by now?" snapped Trevor.

"We're just playing around, Mister!" said a girl.

"Yeah, just playing around!" said a boy, that Trevor assumed was her brother.

"Where are your parents?" demanded Trevor.

"They're asleep," said the boy.

"What are your names?" asked Trevor.

"My name is John, and this is my sister, Sarah," said the boy.

"Well, John and Sarah, I'm taking you back to your room, where you belong!" said Trevor. "You kids need to be in bed, before your parents wake up. Come on!"

"But we want to stay up!" whined Sarah.

"Quit your whining, and do what I say!" bellowed Trevor.

Trevor took John and Sarah back to their room. Their parents were now awake. "John and Sarah!" scolded their mom. "Where have you been?!"

"My deepest apologies, Ma'am, said Trevor. "But these kids of yours have been running in the hallway, and they banged on my door."

"Both of you get in to bed right now!" roared their dad. "You kids should know better!"

"I am so sorry, Sir," said their mom. "My kids can be quite a handful. We had no idea that they snuck out."

"No worries, Ma'am," chuckled Trevor.

"Thanks for bringing them back to us," said their dad. "We'll make sure that doesn't happen again."

"No problem!" said Trevor. "Y'all have a good night, now."

"Thanks, you too!" said their mom. "Both of you get in bed now, before I spank both of you!"

Trevor walked back to his room, and went back to sleep. Nothing else disturbed him for the rest of the night.
