We Are Family Guy!

I'm on the train coming home from work, and as soon as I position myself into a corner of the train, a group of little kids comes in, escorted by their very angry sounding mother. There are four kids, and shortly after the man next to me gets up, a little girl sits down next to me. She leans over, watching me play my DS, until her older brother begins to sing.

"It seems today, that all you see..."
She chips in with "Lah-da-dah-da-dahdahdah..." Apparently the boy is the only one who knows most of the words, but that doesn't stop the rest of the from joining in.
"Ladadah-dadadah-da-SEX ON TV," they yell in unison.
"Sexy sexy sexyyyyy, sex sex sex!" The tiny girl next to me sings. I'm trying desperately to not get pissed off; to concentrate on my game.

Their off-tune voices raise up in chorus and they finish with, "WE! ARE! FAM! LEE! GUYYYYYY!!!"

Then they start all over again.

I get up, stumbling to get my balance, and push past the mom to a seat on the other side of the doors. Sighing, I sit down and return to my game. A few minutes pass, and I feel a shadow fall over me.

The little girl is watching me again. "Why did you move?" She finally asks.

"Because it was too loud," I say, and she locks eyes with me for a moment before running back to her mom.

"Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!" She shouts, trying to get through whatever conversation the mom is having.
"What?!" The mom responds angrily.
"Do-do you know why that girl moved? It was because it was too loud!"

I laugh, look back at them, and turn back to my game for a minute before the little girl comes back to watch me play.
