So it's bedtime at our house...my least favorite time of the day, by far...but, oh, the sweet rewards that follow!!! But that's not the subject of this post. This post is about the ridiculous, sometimes out-right dumb, things my kids do around bedtime. For instance, here is the exchange I just had (keep in mind that they've already been in bed for over 15 min...supposedly sleeping)...
Big Boy: Mom, Mr. Fix It tied his legs together and can't move.
Mom: (Going in to examine the situation, I find that, in fact, Mr. Fix It has tied his legs together with one of those loop thing-a-ma-jigs you use to make potholders, and he can not untie it) Why did you do that?
Mr. Fix It: Sweety Pie (who is "sleeping" on their floor) told me to.
Mom: If Sweety Pie told you to jump off a building would you?
Mr. Fix It: No. How am I going to go to school tomorrow with my legs tied up.
Mom: I guess you'll just have to hop, but the most embarrassing part is going to be you showing up in pj's or half naked because there's no way you can get pants on with your legs like that. Good night!
I would like to say that scenes like that are atypical...sadly, I can not. Heaven help us! :)
OK, this is nearly two years old but I just saw it. It sounds like things are very interesting at the deGala household.
