Weeks passed since the caning happened. Makes me and my friends wanna rebel even more. To piss Rowntree off.
One night, I couldn't sleep, I was bored too.
"Peanuts?"
No answer.
"Stephans?"
No answer.
"Johnny-"
"What. Are. You. Doing?" Mick asked.
"Mick, you're awake, I just wanted to talk to someone, can't sleep."
"Me neither. Wanna talk?"
"Yeah."
We were awkwardly silent for a few seconds.
"What about then?"
"Um...wanna tell jokes to each other?"
"I guess, as long as we keep quiet."
I went first.
"Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Hatch."
"Hatch who?"
"Bless you."
"That's cheesy. My turn. Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Orange."
"Orange who?"
"Orange you gonna let me in?"
Mick snorted trying not to burst.
"Cheesy...knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Bab."
"Bab who?"
"Bab Boone is a real ape."
We chuckled quietly.
"Nice one Charlie."
"Thank you very much."
"Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Doris."
"Doris who?"
"Doris locked, that's why I'm knocking."
We laughed a bit loud but not loud enough to wake the others. We shushed each other and continued. My turn.
"Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Old lady."
"Old lady who?"
"I didn't know you could yodel!"
We laughed again louder. Stephans shot up.
"What the bloody hell is going on? What so funny? It's a tad til midnight!"
"Sorry," we both said.
"Tell me one for waking me up."
I got em.
"Knock knock Stephans."
He was silent.
"Knock knock?"
No answer.
"Stephans, you're supposed to say who's there."
"I have a peephole! Good. Night."
We went to sleep.
