Flashback 3: Old tape record

When I was younger I loved to hear my own voice and would record myself reading off a book or talking nonsense that sounded (to me at least) like important adult talk. Alas the tapes have since been lost or thrown away. One day I stumbled upon an old cassette and and was flabbergasted at an accidental recording at the very end of the tape. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find that old cassette tape. And so I present to you.. flashback 3

*Blue for the voice of my brother
*Red for my voice

*Sound of plastics hitting against each other and high pitched "Hiiieeeeaaah! Hah! Wham!" intermediating between screams and laughter. Sounds gradually getting louder and louder.

"Hiiieeeaah!"
"Hoooieee!!!"

*Loud "PIAK!"

*Silence

"ORRRHhhhh....."
"No No NOOOOoooo"
"I'm going to tell Mummy!"
"No No... I NEVER!!!"

*Sound of footsteps pounding away and down the steps as the "No No NOooo..." continues on.

"Mummy! JT broke the racket!"
"No No NOooo.... I NEVER!!!!"

*End of tape

Okay... in case you didn't get it... My brother and I were playing swordsmen with our toy tennis rackets. Mine broke and he went to tell on me.
