Clever is as Clever Does ...

Hello Everyone.

Sometimes it is really interesting the clever ways children try to avoid going to bed. My 4-year-old daughter Neva decided tonight that she needed to know whose birthday was when.

"When's Mommy's birthday?" she began, after I turned off the light. I answered. "And Daddy, when is yours?" she continued. I answered again. Soon we had made it through the rest of our family and had begun with some of our neighbors.

"Neva," I said, "it's time to go to sleep."

"But just one more daddy!" she pleaded.

"One more then," I allowed.

"When is everybody's?"

"On their birthday Neva, on their birthday."

Happy sweeping,
