Em: Mama.(pause) Mama? (pause) Maaaamaaaaa. (pause) MAMA! MAAAAAMAAAAAAAAA!
Me: (going in) What?!
Em: I need to read you a story.
Me: A quick one, then it's lights out.
Em: ('reading') Tuck me in. Time for bed. Who need to tucked in? I do. Goodnight baby elephant. (looks at me) And that's the end.
Me: Ok, goodnight.
Em: I need daddy cuddle. Little cuddle.
Me: Ok
Em: You got to ask nicely Mama. Got to say 'please Daddy for a little cuddle."
Me: Ok, I will.
Lights go out. Daddy goes in for little cuddle. I go back in for little cuddle. Silence...
10 minutes later:
Em: Mama.(pause) Mama? (pause) Maaaamaaaaa. (pause) MAMA! MAAAAAMAAAAAAAAA!
Me: (going in) What?!
Em: I need something to cuddle. Need a toy.
Me: Ok. This one? (teddy)
Em: Ummm, yep!
Me: Here you go. Good night
Em: Good night.
10 minutes later:
Em: Mama.(pause) Mama? (pause) Maaaamaaaaa. (pause) MAMA! MAAAAAMAAAAAAAAA!
Me: (going in) What?!
Em: Need to take the strangle off!
(I remove the teddy bear's bow tie)
Me: Is that better?
Em: Yep. That's the Mummy one. Need the Daddy one.
(I get the 'daddy' teddy, and the baby one)
Silence. Finally. Till my phone message alert goes off. D'oh! At least she stays in bed I suppose. :)
