We were going to sleep at night, and that's the time we say "Good Night" to everything that we can think of. Toes, knees, eyes, ears, shirt, diaper, lights, fan, Akka, even to the bathroom, and the water and the shampoo in there.
This night, Pranav was haggling with me to watch his favorite videos on Youtube instead of sleeping. (What's the world coming to when a not-yet-18-month-old has favorite videos on Youtube?)
"Watch ABC balloons?", he said, hopefully, starting to slide down the bed.
"ABC balloons, Good Night.", I said.
"How 'bout, Kangaroo?"
"Kangaroo, Good Night."
"How 'bout, Gummy bear?"
"Gummy bear, Good Night."
By this time he was settled back into bed with a mischievous grin.
"How 'bout, Dora?"
"Dora, Good Night."
"How 'bout..... , How 'bout......."
I waited because I could see his brain working at it.
"How 'bout, Ducky?"
And so it went on until he started to yawn, and finally, fell asleep.
P.S: I realize that Youtube is not a safe place for a kid to be. I only allow Pranav on there, because I get to choose what he sees. Summy, being older, is not allowed on there unless I am there too. I have personally seen Summy's friends stumble upon inappropriate videos while surfing around with little supervision. So please do be careful if you are not already.
