I've lost count of how many times Mom and Dad have gone out late at night. I don't know what they're going to do, but they always come back smiling and humming some kind of song.
Not long after they leave, I always hear, "Beep! Woo! Beep! Woo! Beep! Woo!" When that happens, Mom and Dad don't go anywhere. They hold me close and quietly listen to the news report and that strange sound.
Sui Wang, can you stop for me?
I'm sorry.
