The Daddy Complex

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?
