Bedtime Story
Me:
Up. Pup. Pup is up.
Wyatt:
Let me down.
Me:
Wait, we're reading "Hop On Pop."
Boone:
Me, too. I want down.
Me:
But, guys. You asked me to read this.
Wyatt:
I'm going to dump out all the blocks.
Me:
Hold it, fellas. This is our bedtime routine. Story, then song, then bed. We've been doing it your whole life.
Boone:
It's not our fault you made our room so awesome.
Me:
It is an awesome room.
Wyatt:
Yeah, you got all these bins for our toys and colorful doo-dads.
Me:
Those are Legos.
Wyatt:
They're super-cool.
Boone:
Dude. If you didn't want us to play with this stuff all the time, why'd you move it in here?
Me:
We wanted our living room back, I guess.
Boone:
Well, you got it.
Wyatt:
And we got Lagurs.
Me:
Legos. We wanted you to know this is your area, your room.
Boone:
And we do.
Me:
But, we didn't expect it to disrupt the bedtime routine so much.
Wyatt:
I built a choo choo train.
Boone:
That looks like a stack of Legos.
Wyatt:
It's a train.
Boone:
Just sayin'.
Me:
Guys, c'mon. You're supposed to wind down, not up.
Boone:
Hey, I found the drum. Look, I'm John Bonham!
Me:
"Hop On Pop," guys?
Wyatt:
Not now, dude. I've got to run around the chair and scream at the top of my lungs.
