Daughter took FOREVER to go to sleep this evening. A sample...
Daughter: [while yawning head off, for about five minutes] I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored...
Me, eventually: go to sleep and you won't be bored. Dreams are fun...
Daughter: Why is there houses and people and tablets? It's boring...
Daughter: Why do we have watering cans?...
[Just as I think she's asleep]
Daughter: Have I met Italy?
Me: Italy is a place. (Getting sucked into the talking now)
Daughter: Have I been to Italy?
Me: no. I have, you haven't ... And go to sleep, you have five minutes or daddy is coming up.
Wish I'd said that earlier. She was asleep in less than five minutes!
