In the car tonight John asked “Can I stay up until the sun goes down tonight?” First let me explain, I’m a mean Mommy. The kids go to bed at 8 every night. In the summer it stinks because it is still light out, but they need their sleep (especially John). Anyway I said to John, “I don’t know. We will have to talk to Daddy.” He said “I’ll pay you. One kiss!” I paused and said “We’ll have to talk to Daddy.” This didn’t stop him. He said “I’ll double the price!” I didn’t say anything. He said “I’ll triple the price.” He paused then said “Wait a minute, how much is triple?” He cracks me up. And for the record, they went to bed on time tonight. Tomorrow we will let them stay up.
