I realized tonight as my daughter was defiantly protesting her 7:30 bed time, that she doesn’t comprehend the value of going to bed before 8 o’clock. She complains that it is too early to go to bed. She continues her protest until 7:40 with such fortitude and conviction, explaining the reasons why she should be allowed to stay up later:
1. "It’s not dark out yet." (thank god that will soon change, even though I am a huge fan of daylight savings time)
2. "My friend 'what’s her name' is allowed to stay up until 9:00." (well your friend’s mother is probably a crack head….just kidding, she’s probably a prostitute)
3. "Well, you and Daddy stay up late." (not by choice, we just have to get you little bastards to sleep first!)
I would be sympathetic to her plight however I would give my left boob to be in bed at 7:30. Not figuratively, I would actually lop it off, put in a box and mail it back to the doctor that put it there just for one good night’s sleep.
