Putting Off The Inevitable
Me:
Okay, guys bedtime.
Wyatt:
I'm not tired.
Me:
You had a big day. Trust me. You're tired.
Boone:
Read us another book.
Me:
No, dude. We've already read "Good Night Moon" and "Dinosaur Roar." C'mon. Bedtime for Bonzo.
Boone:
My name's Boone, dude.
Me:
It's the title of an old movie. Forget it. Into the cribs with you.
Wyatt:
Wait. I have a poop.
Me:
You don't have a poop.
Wyatt:
You should check anyway.
Me:
This is a stalling tactic.
Boone:
But, if he does have a poop, he won't sleep.
Me:
I don't smell poop.
Wyatt:
It's a non-smelly one.
Me:
They're all smelly.
Boone:
Not all of them.
Me:
Yes, all of... Okay. This is just more stalling. Here you go. Into the cribs. Good night.
Wyatt:
NO!
Me:
Yes.
Boone:
Hey, dude.
Me:
What?
Boone:
I have a poop.
Me:
It's not going to work, buddy.
Boone:
Smell.
Me:
Fine, I'll give you a whiff, but... All right. You've got a poop. I'll change your diaper.
Wyatt:
While you're there, how about another book?
