This is a list of most of the things that my children have said (or shouted) since I put them to bed. We said our prayers, read our stories, kissed goodnight and I tucked them in tight.

Then came this. Most of the dialogue was overheard from the next room, and directed by one boy at the other.

DISCLOSURE: This post in no way is meant as a guilt trip for my husband who is out tonight, but merely as a reassurance to everyone else who experiences bedtimes like this (and possibly as blackmail material for my children when they grow up). Honest.
