Oh, wait. You were talking about kids.

Actually, I wouldn’t have minded being able to do that every night. I doubt that’s going to happen now, though I’m thinking there’s a possibility of adoption, older kids, so I’ll get to experience some of it.

Sure, carpundit. I’m glad I don’t have dogs. Cats are much better. Because it’s not like they play the “I want to go out/No I don’t/Yes I do/No I don’t/Yes I do/No I don’t/Yes I do” game. At least, not more than three or four times a day.

Or sit by your head and yowl for you to wake up and pet them.

One day, I woke up and found five cat toys near my hand. Tig had obviously dropped them all in my hand and waited for me to throw them. I must have been very deeply asleep to miss that yowl-fest.

After you let the dogs out, you can take a quiet moment to thank your (God, stars, cats – whatever you worship or respect) that you don’t have to do it every night.

Like some of us.

Actually the twins will wrerstle with each other over who gets to sit with mommy and frequently the wrestling is on mommy.

I have yet to encounter a child that peers over the headboard and then runs across my face to chase another child off of the bed.
