Making babies—and sounding like one too (Worst neighbors ever)

“(don’t) Cry” by Pedro Klien
To begin this blog post like so many others, with a scene involving my boyfriend in our crappy apartment:
Boyfriend and I, snuggling in bed, watching “Tree of Life”, furrowing our eyebrows and with bated breath, hoping that the dialogue and subsequent actual feature film presentation would begin in the next scene. We were an hour deep in this extreme patience, waiting for the movie to start. (If you’ve never seen “Tree of Life”, this is me telling you not to).
It was all very quiet, raining outside, watching a movie with no noise when a baby started crying in the apartment next to ours. The new neighbors, a young Bostonian couple, had just moved in. I hadn’t seen a baby though, they snuck that one by me. The baby started crying louder and louder, and then started pounding rhythmically on the wall….OH MY GOD.
