Oh, yeah, I forgot. I have a 15-page report due first thing in the morning on Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers of the Amazon Rainforest. I need visual aids and the report must be typed, double-spaced and neatly bound.
Do we have any tagboard? How about glitter?
My son has to get up at 7:30 weekdays for school.
He does Not go to bed til 10:30.
Doesn’t matter how tired he is in the morning, he doesn’t go to bed til 10:30 at the earliest.
Ah well, he’ll be on vacation for 16 days, so we’ll be sleeping late and staying up late.
He’s just a night owl, I brought him up that way.
Yer not the boss of me!
Can I stay awake another hour if I read in bed?
I wanna drink of water!
maybe if you didn’t yell in color…
<whine>Moooooooommm! I was about to beat this level of my video gaaaaaaaaame.</whine>
But I wanted to tell you I love you.
Fine! But if YOU call the orphanage tomorrow, then I’M calling the Gypsies!
But my heart feels empty and I miss you.
If I do, will you join me? 
Oh, my god… you have all met my kids. 
Wow, I was really tired when I wrote that, and I had forgotten about it. We’d been moving for 6 days straight, and we just put the baby in the kids’ room, and bedtime has become an ORDEAL!
But…
I hope they never say that. It will make me cry. 
Only if you are good. 
That’s my kids… to a T.
I did go to bed! Yesterday!
But you didn’t say which bed.
But Mommmmm, the baby started it!!
Or what I taught one of my cousin’s 3 year old.
“Mommy! I can’t sleep the bed smells like poo!”
You see, I had to get revenge on them for what they did to me when I was 5.
I accomplished it. They were suddenly wide awake and into full ‘sanatize’ mode.
It took a few hours but I was found out. Rest assured the circle of revenge will continue, but thankfully I’m single and they are all 10 years older than I am. By the time I have kids they’ll hopefully be nearing senile.
You haven’t read me my rights…
</Obligatory Calvin clincher OFF>
You hurt my feeling!
Oh, well. I’m not good. I’m bad.
