Woe to the fucking wicked.

No. He's not supposed to die. It's way too fun to walk around saying "Jerry Fall well" when he's done something lately t /Sports Night geek

I bet if you make sure he deals with the kids whenever they're sleep deprived and cranky he'll view bedtimes more fondly.

I suspect this will happen, too. At least, I hope so. Meanwhile, he's baffled why anyone has to tell their kids to go to sleep. "Won't they just go to sleep eventually?" he says.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Meanwhile, he's baffled why anyone has to tell their kids to go to sleep. "Won't they just go to sleep eventually?" he says.

Admittedly, this is true, but YEventuallyMV considerably from the kid's.

I actually do know one child who will voluntarily put himself to bed or even stop playing and lie down for a nap, courteously excusing himself from company, at the age of not-quite-four. But just the one. His parents regard him with wonder and something like fear, and I'm pretty sure his sleep habits are a mystically created In Every Generation There Can Be Only One-type deal.

That's funny.

If I only had a brain...

"Won't they just go to sleep eventually?"

Of course they will.

But there's a good chance they'll go to sleep from (say) 4PM to 2AM, or some other time frame that is incompatible with the adults getting any sleep.

Always Anti-fascist!

Bitch men continually affirm my faith in Penis People. I love to watch good dads but it makes me sad because I did not get one, too.(I thought I'd be over that particular pain, but having the surrogate go away makes it much more vivid.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

"Won't they just go to sleep eventually?"

I know I am not a parent, but my experience with children is that most of them will fight going to sleep with every ounce of energy and will they have.

I actually do know one child who will voluntarily put himself to bed or even stop playing and lie down for a nap, courteously excusing himself from company, at the age of not-quite-four. But just the one. His parents regard him with wonder and something like fear, and I'm pretty sure his sleep habits are a mystically created In Every Generation There Can Be Only One-type deal.

My cousins were like this. I used to babysit for the two of them when they were little, and they used to come downstairs exactly at 8 and tell me they were going to bed now. Always freaked me out.

Oh my goodness, yes. I'd like to meet that kid.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I know I fought sleep as a young kid. Stayed up as late as my folks would let me and got up way early. I think I was afraid I'd miss something interesting.

Then adolescence hit.

Now if there was a pillow at my desk I would be too busy snoring to post.

That's funny.

Yes it is. And I look forward to seeing him try to reconcile his beliefs with reality.
