A Jen Too Many

Little girls who are sent to brush their teeth need to be repeatedly reminded of why they are in the bathroom. Otherwise, they could spend the whole time playing with their hair in the bathroom mirror and come out without ever having had toothpaste or toothbrush in the vicinity of their mouths.

What does it say about our family when the father of my small children lets them stay up late to watch a really great TV show with him - about the current state of research into interstellar travel? And they're actually interested?


It's amazing how everyone gets ravenous as soon as bedtime is announced. I wish they were this hungry at dinnertime.


Comment from their father on the noise coming from the girls' room: "It's a slumber party in there every night."


The number of excuses for getting back up after having been put to bed is infinite. If not more.
