It’s 8:30 PM and time for getting the girls to bed. I’ve let them play quietly in Penny’s room for a half hour or so. Finally I decide it’s time to read stories and tuck them in. Going into where they are, I say, “Time for night-night girls.”
Lucy says: “I wanna play for story time.”
I respond: “Does that mean you want me to read you a play for story time tonight, or that you want to play some more instead of have a story tonight?”
Quizzical looks from both kids. It’s tough some times being an egghead parent. (For the record, they wanted the second option.)
