I was laying down with my Bean a few nights ago when the following conversation ensued:
Bean: Mama, how do you go to sleep?
Me: You close your eyes.
Bean: But how do you go to sleep?
Me: You close your eyes and relax your body.
Bean: No mama, how do you go to sleep? (getting a little irritated with my answers)
Me: Close your eyes, relax your body and think of happy things. Soon your mind will just fall asleep.
Bean: But how do you go to sleep?
Me: Bean, I don’t understand what you’re trying to ask me honey.
Bean: Why? Am I speaking Spanish mama?
The last line was dripping sarcasm. Suzanne, you’d be proud of my girl!
