Go ask your Mom for breakfast


Daughter: Dad. Dad. Dad. Dad. Dad...
Me, waking up, trying to focus: Wha...? Huh? What time is it?
Daughter: Dad, it's time for breakfast.
Me: Ungh.
Daughter: Dad. Dad. Dad...
Me: Go ask your mom for breakfast.
Daughter: But, Daaad! We can't ask Mom for breakfast -- she's nocturnal!

Our first-born is the “Original All-night Party Girl” because the number of nights since we brought her home from the hospital where she has actually slept from the time we put her to bed until it’s time to get up can be counted on one hand. This is in fact a source of tension because my wife wants the 8 pm curfew strictly enforced because the chronic offenders are eating into her nocturnal no-kid hours. I am not quite sure what is going to happen when M1 is old enough to not have to go down at 8 with her sibs.
