Priorities

Mother look there's a double rainbow. It's one in a thousand. Look now, it may be our last chance.
Quiet child. I'm working on my composition "Accordion Fire". It will make the top of the Urban Charts and be more famous than "Lady Of Spain". People will play it for years in elementary talent shows.
You're composing it? I didn't know you were awake.
I can do this in my head. I will transcribe it later.
You can't do that later? The double rainbow is a rare illustration of secondary harmonics.
Didn't you bring your mobile? Take a picture of it and show me later.
If you insist, but it won't be the same as the real thing. You'd sleep through a total ellipse rather than take a look wouldn't you.
That's right child. Now hush.
