Working the System

Like most kids, I don't always want to go to bed when my parents say it's bedtime. Since I've been potty training, I've figured out that after drinking my night-time bottle, if I say, "pee pee (pi pi)," whichever parent is putting me to sleep will take me into the bathroom to use the toilet - so I get to stay awake a little bit longer. Last night I added a new touch. After "pi pi" was finished, all I had to say was, "teeth" and I got to stay up even later to brush my teeth.

  1. As we say here, Necessity is the mother of invention. You used what came to hand to have the desired result: to stay up later than your parents thought wise. No one who knows you has any doubt about how smart you are!!
