Your wife opens the basement door and asks:
You to stop running for 1hour the trains are interfering with the TV reception.
Why are all the lights out and what are all those little spots of light.
How many Trians do you have running, the lights just drew down.
Is there enough left from your paycheck to buy groceries.
Is that a real train down there.( New sound system works well)
Are you chasing the cat again with the trains, the cat just ran under the bed screaming.
