The Daddy Complex

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.
