William and his funny ways

William and August were waiting for their friends across the hall to come knock on our door. August was playing with Abraham in the meantime, but William was just laying on the couch, looking at some pirate hat. “William, why don’t you do something while you wait?” I suggested. “I AM doing something,” he said with a mellow voice, “I’m playing a game with this hat to see who can be quiet the longest.” Courtney and I looked at each other; William is being his unintentionally amusing self again, and Courtney concluded, “…and completely without a hint of humor in the voice.” Then he turned to William and asked “Who’s winning?” to which William answered, still completely docile, “The hat.”
