She Sleeps Until When?
When you hang out with other people’s children, you learn a lot about their parents. It’s fun.
I’ve written about our recent Spring Break zoo excursion to Tulsa. We tried to get adjoining rooms, but the best the hotel could do for us was two rooms across the hall from each other. I ended up with my daughter and her best friend. The other mom got stuck with all the boys and the pizza boxes. (I have no idea how that happened.) While we princesses were sleeping in, the other room was up watching cartoons and scarfing down leftover pizza.
“Are you girls hungry?” I asked the sleeping beauties in my room. My daughter’s friend nodded vigorously. “Okay,” I said “Let’s go to the other room. Your mom’s making oatmeal over there.”
“She is?” The girl looked at the clock. Her face registered extreme confusion. “Because she usually sleeps until like… ten.”

Wow. How does that work? There is no way I could sleep past 7:30am. Hayden wouldn’t have that. No way.
I admit it’s been a while since sleeping in has been a problem.You don’t anctually need less sleep as you get older,but you wake up more often remembering the indiscretions of your youth.
Did you say your daughter’s best friend’s mother was fixing oatmeal? That could be considered child abuse in any country outside of east Africa.
This is awesome Lela!!! Thanks for making me laugh even if it was welllll before 10 AM!!!!
