Me: “Time for bed, princess.”
Little Miss Thing, age 6: “I can’t.”
Me: “It’s time.”
LMT: “I can sleep here. This couch is my bed now.”
Me: “Is that your big plan?”
LMT: “It’s not funny. I can’t go upstairs again until we get an elevator.”

Much Love

(hugging)
“Now go to sleep immediately, or I will beat you with this Harry Potter book.”
“You’re weird.”
“Yes, thank you. Are you asleep yet?”
(giggling)
“You better not be faking. This book is really heavy.”
(much giggling)
“Good night, my boy.”
“Good night, Dad.”
“I KNEW IT!”

Yeah, I Thought So
At tuck ins.
Me: “You are a really great kid. You’re good at gymnastics, and spelling and math and reading and writing, and you’re funny and smart and hard working – when you want to be. I’m very proud to be your dad.”
Little Miss Thing, age 6: “Yeah, I thought so.”
