And hey, I need to keep myself entertained for personal sanity's sake.
Case in point; I walk into the bedroom at 1am last night and find my 3 owls wide awake, gleefully chatting away on a school night. Bear in mind we are up at 5:55am on school days.
They tell me that they can't sleep and my eldest (my mini-me who has inherited my twisted humour) says they want, no, NEED, a bedtime story. Having not done the bedtime story thingy for years I knew that this was him having a laugh.
But I said "Ok just a nice short one so snuggle up, and listen up."
"Once upon a time, there lived three brave boys.
If they didn't go to sleep immediately, they're going to get such a good whacking on their backsides that they will have to shit standing up for a week.
And for the rest of their days they slept on time and lived happily ever after."
- THE END -
Owls numbers 1 & 2 both instantly said it was THE best story they'd ever heard so I chalk this one up in the 'Parenting Win' column.
I'm rocking this daddy gig methinks.
