Upon one night when the moon
was waxing and the stars began
to spring forth.
My nephews knee deep
playing within a summers evening,
jumping and flying from bed to
dresser then back
again. Their mother rise forth
in heavy steps time for bed. They
stop
at times, then by her heated
expression, soon their feet were
tucked in. However, when she left
they squirm
and wiggled back
into a jumping frenzy. I came in
tall and calm, told them it's time
to rest
GO TO SLEEP. My nephew in the middle
of his older and younger brother
tells me with a straight face
with a pout
SLEEP IS BORING. My
3rd eldest sister laughed
at his remark and I told them
sleep is suppose to energize you,
NOT BE ENTERTAINING...I don't care
GO TO BED!(10:30) He still considers
sleep to be a bore, but they laid
in the dark in dismay. Sad that
they couldn't keep on with
their game.

Yep....you know you're getting older when you wish for those naps you refused to take as a kid.
