The Invisibility Game

Is it possible to be in the same room with people and have no one hear you? Lets begin another round of the Invisibility Game.

"Do you think monkeys dance when no one's looking? The soft blue eyes of the young boy opened widely in anticipation for a reply. Any answer would do.

"Jonathan did you say something? His father hadn't even looked at the boy; instead he looked at his wife and began a different conversation that he found to be relevant. "Anyway, I have so many bills to pay, honey can you please balance the check book so I can figure out what we have and who we can pay first.

"Don't ignore your son, and Mike I told you I already balanced it. I'm waiting for you to tell me which checks to write.

"And I'm still waiting to see if you'll ever balance it right.

"How long do you think it would take for all the water in the who ocean to evaporate? Jonathan had a voice of and eleven year old and the wonderment of an eight year old, but he longed for his thirteenth birthday to arrive sooner. Five months is to long, maybe then they'll listen to me.

"Are you talking to me or your dad?

"He's talking to you, what's the question? Honey, pass the bread.

"If you want bread its on the counter.

"Why did you do that? We're eating it should be on the table.

"I didn't know you wanted bread you didn't say anything.

"Honey come on, you know I like bread with my dinner.

"Don't get an attitude with me.

"Fuck you, don't talk to me.

"Watch your mouth! Don't talk like that around my son!

"I hate this shit! I can't even have a meal without you jumping on by back for something!

"How come you never see cats or bunnies with sweaters on, only dogs? The boy continued, I guess I'm talking to myself.

"Me?! You're the one¦

"Stop! Just shut up bitch. He threw his fork and knife down; bits of food went flying as he slammed his fist down on the table. He knocked over his chair as he got up to leave. His tall lanky figure left the room with the force of a giant.

"Don't cut me off, I was still talking! Get back here. Are you just gonna leave this mess! She stopped yelling and lowered her voice and said to herself as if Jonathan wasn't there, "You're gonna clean this shit up. Don't think for a second that I'm gonna clean up after your stupid ass.

"If the moon is made of cheese what kind of cheese would it be?

"What Jonathan? Did you say something?

"No.

She got up, leaving her dishes on the table too, and walked slow and quietly out of the room, her long brown thinning hair waving behind her like dust in the wind.

Then there was silence and Jonathan was winner another game of invisible
