Isn't it funny how perspective changes as we get older. That annoyance of having to pull out your drivers license at the liquor store when you're in your mid-20s, becomes the highlight of your day when you're 40. "I got carded!"
It's a similar story at bedtime. "Bedtime is the worst time of the day," AJ complained last night. "I wish it was morning so we could play."
"You just wait," I told him. "When you're my age, it's the opposite. Bedtime is a good thing, and it's when the alarm goes off in the morning that you dread."
"Sleeping just seems like a waste of time," AJ said. "I have other things I want to do more."
He continued, "you probably like bedtime because it gives you a break from your kids."
That boy is pretty smart!
