AMELIA: Wouldja look at that!  12:15 a.m. and I barely ate today!  No wonder my hands are shaking! Ah, well, I can always head into the kitchen and find something. I’m sure I won’t make enough noise to wake Dad!*

 

AMELIA enters the kitchen.

the smell of burning bread and fish wafts through the house

 

AMELIA: … I guess we can rule out tuna melts as a late-night sort of snack in the future, can’t we?

 

*The cardinal rule at the Treehouse: DO NOT WAKE DAD.  Dad is a very busy doctor and needs his sleep, and if you wake him there will be crankiness.

Heh, I know that cardinal rule. Papa is a very busy research physicist and in later years also a Uni administrator (Associate Dean). One does not wake the paternal figure on pain of Very Painful and Immediate Death.

My roommate prefers cereal for a late-night snack. Personally, I usually go with something containing chocolate.
