Madeleine's Idea

As we sat at the pool watching Julia's swim team practice today, Madeleine suddenly spoke up with a random remark.


MADELEINE: Hey Mama!  I have an idea!  So.  If you wanna have MORE fun in the night, you just sleep in the morning!
ME: Yeah!  And stay up all night.  Should we become nocturnal?
MADELEINE: (thoughtful) No...I just might do it if I'm a grown-up and I marry someone.
ME: Oh.  Why only when you're a grown-up?
MADELEINE: Because...there's more fun things happening in the night.
ME: And you wish you could stay up later like grown-ups do?
MADELEINE: Yeah.


Oh, Madeleine.  If only you knew how desperately I wish I could get the amount of sleep that you and your sister get.  The grass is always greener...
