They all do it at some point
lack of sleep leads to tiredness leads to tantrums, usually

this can happen to the kids, as well.

Yeah I've had the riff stuck in my head since Lokesy posted that.
Not the rest of the song, oh no. Just the riff, over and over again.

The ending is a wonderful example of how to split a high note on a trumpet

Little tangle has just started learning to play the trumpet
I'm hoping he might be the next Louis Armstrong or Miles Davis.

Much better that than a violin or something
You can get up to "playing a tune" stage quite quickly on a trumpet, on a scratchbox it takes months and months to stop it sounding like someone torturing a cat.

i was like that for a while
i've always been a v light sleeper/needed hardly any sleep. must have driven my parents crackers. i went through a stage where i was terrified of being the only one awake in the house, which meant of course that i couldn't sleep for teh fear.

No wonder your old man was keen to buy you a house at the other end of the country.

this thought has occurred to me on several occasions, yes
as a really tiny swipe, i used to wake up in the middle of the night, and bellow out nursery rhymes in my then yorkshire accent. i was too stupid to realise i could get out of bed (bonus) but that meant one parent had to get in with me, to shut me up. my mum said that on the occasions when she sent my dad, inevitably there would be shouting and a slammed bedroom door about 30 mins later, and then i would be sobbing on the landing.

i have every sympathy with him. i would have kicked myself down the stairs.
