Not the Usual Night

Usually at night after the humans leave (always saying Good Night to me and someone named Frank who I don't know), it gets quiet around here. Well, that wasn't the case Friday. For one thing, no one turned on the radio in my room. I was laying in my box high up on the mailbox shelf and I noticed that right away. For another thing, the buzzer that usually goes off when the humans leave, didn't make any noise. Did they forget to do something? Would it suddenly erupt and keep me awake for hours? I was a annoyed but before I could get really upset, I heard humans thru the grate in the wall. They were in the big room ! I got close to the grate so I could hear better and started to recognize the voices. The Man was there and so was Nancy and Mary. I heard Tamika, and a lot of others, too. They were talking about food and laughing and having a good time. Someone started playing the piano and a blowing a horn and some other things. And the humans started singing!! What a sound! I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Then there was more laughter. They were in there for quite awhile and I started to feel left out. At last it got quite and Nancy stopped by my room to say good night and turn on my radio.. The buzzer went off as she left and everything was back to normal. At last!!
