The boy was in a bad mood.
We weren’t sure why.
Maybe it was his hair.

I tried to entertain him with quotes from The Shining.

“Danny’s not here, Mrs. Torrance. Danny can’t wake up. Danny’s gone away, Mrs. Torrance.”
He was still in a bad mood.
We tried distracting him with toys.

But he was still grumpy.
What’s wrong, Riley?
Are you hungry?
Tired?
Have you fallen to the bottom of an abandoned oil well?

Okay, fine. Be that way.

Heyyy….Riley…
Come to candy mountain, Riley. Let’s go to candy mountain, Riley.
Yeah, Riley. We’re going on an adventure, Riley.
Riiiiilleeeeeyyy…..we’re on a bridge, Riley.

Ahh. That’s better.
