Shhh. (by Jorge Just)

 

Homebound, J&C play quietly together.
Confinados a casa, J y C tratan de quedarse calladitos.

Shhh. is in Spanish; here’s a full translation:

J: Ok, first thing we're going to play your favorite game. The silent game.
C: Quiet game!
J: Yes. And then we'll list everything we heard.
C: Uh-huh
J: I'm going to put three minutes on. What do you think? Can we stay totally silent for three minutes?
C: I think so.
J: Press it.
C: This one?
J: mm-hmmm
<pause>
C: We did it?
J: We did it! J: What did you hear?
C: RAWRRRRR!!!
