Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 29, 2022

what Alice needs is a child’s portion of sleep medicine

It’s about time!

Madeline can’t handle an honest critique; and some reasonable solutions.

I do realize that Richard is not with us, but I would love to see an updated Cul de Sac. A reboot.

Yes, I think Alice should eventually marry Dill. Then Dill’s infamous brothers can provide the fireworks Alice would need at bedtime. (Oops, there could be an unintended double meaning here.)

I was just thinking of Paul McCartney. "Say anything but don’t say goodnight tonight. "

go run around the house a few times ….. always works for our dog

Richard must have seen Sergio Leone’s “Duck You Sucker”, a movie with James Colburn as a mercenary who uses lots of dynamite!

Try giving her a slug of whiskey…

Also known as a Fistful of Fireworks.

have Polyfil fill some Pollys… ☺

My daughter years ago… Wonderful memories… now… Then? Not so much.

Mrs Otterloop needs to read “Go the F%&k to Sleep” to Alice. Several times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udj-o2m39NA

I put my granddaughter down for a nap by covering her with her blankie and then tapping her three times while saying, “tucky tucky tucky!” She giggles, rolls over, and is out like a light for a few hours. My daughter told me she does it too, but just two “tuckys.” However, I am pretty sure she has 25 steps before that and I don’t. We just compared that note after almost 3 years.

BUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hiya Happyx3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Have you considered Chloroform?

Moms title is the best. Don’t make me say goodnight again. Clear, to the point, with a dash of foreboding finality.

Let her watch the evening news – she’d dive straight under the covers and stay there til morning’s light.

If we ever said we weren’t tired at bedtime, the parental unit response was, “Good, then Go. To. Bed. And. Don’t. Sleep.” My sister and I would play quietly for two hours until we got yelled at. We were just following orders.

Turn out the light, close the door, and ignore Alice’s self-serving whining, Madeline. It’s the Right Thing to do!…
