Lyla has discovered a new bed time strategy. It's a game I used to play all the time. I am an expert at it, however, I find myself losing to a much younger opponent quite often!
Let's see...some of her new excuses include:
1. "I need to go potty."
The most logical attempt that I generally cannot ignore because I like to avoid soiled bedding.
2. "I need a drink of water."
Once again, I must consider other factors such as, when is the last time she drank water? Did she drink enough water today? I can't sleep when I am thirsty, so maybe one small drink of water will be okay.
3. "Will you read me another story?"
I say yes to this request most of the time. My cut off is five, or sometimes three. Depending on how tired I am. LOL.
4. "Will you turn the fan on?"
I ask myself, why would she want the fan on? The fan sucks. But okay, if you wish, I shall turn on the fan. Now go to sleep.
5. "Will you turn my blankie to the soft side?"
I have since learned to put her blanket on the soft side from our initial attempt. But she got me with this reasoning several times before I wised up.
6. "Will you turn on the hall light?"
I always comply with this request because I always slept with the hall light on as a kid.
No hall light = monsters. Duh.
And the latest & greatest....
6. "My bum is itchy."
This is the one excuse I fear she is taking advantage of because one time I think her bum was actually itchy. So I pulled her out of bed and gave her a bath. Nothing worse than an itchy bum. However, now that excuse has turned into a new regular.
Nope. Not falling for it, Lyla. Shut your eyes.
I look forward to more new material in the future. Silly girl.
