Will Someone Please Explain?

Adrian and Malia were sitting at the table, having a conversation in low, shaky, unnatural voices. I listened in:

A: "I'm old.

M: "So am I."

A: "I'm 6000 years old."

M: "So am I. We're twins."

A: "Do you know your name?"

M: "Yes. I'm Martha. What's our last name?"

A: "I can't remember."

M: "Neither can I."

A: "I have to go to the bathroom." (Gets up and starts hobbling slowly toward the bathroom.)

M: "Me, too." (Does the same.) "I'm surprised you can still walk."

A: "Me, too.

When they finished, they shuffled slowly back to the table.

M: "I'm slower than you."

A: "Well, I used to be a star, you know."

M: "A rock star?"

A: "No, a track star."

M: "Well, I used to be a rock star." (Starts singing, "I sing a noun in a 4-time, baby......" - all in her low, slow, shaky voice.)

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE CHILDREN????? And please don't say something like, "Well, just look at the mother they have....." Everyone knows that I was a proper and well-balanced child..... Right, Mom? :-)
