Excuse me, I'm trying to do some work. I'm afraid your children are making a lot of noise. Don't they ever go to sleep?
I'm sorry. They are noisy. But you know it's difficult to keep boys quiet.
I couldn't work and I couldn't sleep at night. And I was woken by the noise they made early this morning.
I'm terribly sorry. You know they never listen to me. They're only afraid of their father. He's away on business, but he will be back tomorrow.
