    Because you haven’t, Michael.

    You’ll get more ‘up time’ in the future kiddo … there will be nights when YOUR daughter won’t let you sleep! :P

    Mornin’ everyone. At Birdbrains we call each other “Tribe”, at Overboard, we call each other “Crew”… I think here we should be “Neighbours”. Anyone agree or disagree?

    Don’t worry Michael, you’ll make up for it when your older. You’ll also find out later that being an adult is vastly over-rated.

    Neighbours sounds good to me, too.

    I agree Michael needs a flashlight and a book. I read under my covers every night and my parents never knew it (at least, I don’t THINK they knew it). Does no harm to the kid and makes him/her think that they’ve put one over on the parents.

    You know, FishStix, I was kinda wondering about that Teddy Bear myself. Seems a little juvenile for Michael’s age but then maybe he is younger than I think.

    Allen V, I am not so sure about neighbours. How about neighbors? (Just kiddin’ our Northern neighbours and their funny way of spelling things.)

    Every night from about age 5, my mother walked by my room, wondering when she had to stop me reading under the covers. She hated to say “no more reading” but OTOH I could stay up for hours….

    I had no siblings but my school friends could all stay up later. Probably my mother had an hour of reading time built in to my bedtime!

    TaxTeach it’s the Yanks that have an ‘odd spelling’ problem. J/k

    Have a great day Neighbour or Neighbor. :D

    My kids complain regularly about having to go to bed earlier than most of their school friends. On the other hand, my kids get up early enough to actually eat a healthy breakfast, help with a few chores (feeding pets, etc.) and get ready for school without scrambling most mornings. And they are rested and getting better grades than most of their friends, as well. I’m happy, even if they aren’t. ;-)

    going to be any later, Michael, would infringe on your parents’ “me time”. LOL! That’s what it’s really all about. ;-)

    That teddy bear could be Michael’s security while he is in his bed and then, goes sleeping ZZZZ. That will be nice to have some different kind of stuffed animals for kid’s securities for their bedtime. I never had anything with me when I sleep in my bed all my life. Tch, oh well! :-)

    My 7 (soon to be 8) year old still sleeps with stuffed animals, especially her favorite Simba. But she is a girl and maybe boys are different.

    Hello neighbors! (Good idea, Allan)

    I like neighbors, neighbours, nay-berrs. Whatever. Night-Gaunt: that’s Michael’s blanket Elly is pulling up over him - not her hand on her knee.

    My mom just made us get in bed - we could read freely as long as we could keep our eyes open. Good way to encourage a child to read: it’s the only way they’re allowed to stay up late!! XD

    Staying up later is vastly over-rated! What I wouldn’t give to be able to sleep more than 5 or 6 hours (and undisturbed ones, at that) a night!!!
