Ah kids. The great equalizer. The boy was sucking his thumb, cozied up in his parent’s bed whilst I was doing something in the kitchen. Walking into our room, I expressed my feelings of exhaustion and general tiredness. When asked by my wife about the suspected reasons for my exhaustion, the boy seized the moment in his usual way.
Taking his thumb out of his mouth only long enough to get the words out, he expressed “Because you go to bed at midnight.” Thumb back in, enough said.
