Now She's Just Screwing with Me

burghbaby in Sleep

Let's pretend for a moment that you are all 21 months old. If Friday night you weren't feeling your best and kept your Mom up most of the night, how would you follow that up? Remember, your mission is to make her as insane as possible. What's that? You'd sleep through the night? That's a good start. But there's something that you could do to make her even crazier. Sleep late. But not just a little late, sleep in until after 9:00. I know, I know, you've never done such a thing in your entire life. Trust me, if you do it now, your Mom will go completely wacko. You've trained her to wake up by 6:30 every day. So she'll wake up, think you're going to wake up any second, and then will lay awake waiting for you. When you don't make a peep, she'll start walking over to your door every once in a while to check on you. If you're still asleep after about 8:00, then she'll convince herself that something must be really wrong and she'll start poking you just to make sure you're alive. Keep sleeping through it, that's the best way to get her into a straight jacket before your second birthday.

Oh, and while you're at it, pretend that riding around in your doll's stroller is the funnest thing you've ever done. Just the doll stroller though, don't ever be caught enjoying your own stroller. That would just be wrong.
