Dad finally breaks down and admits defeat. So mommy is en route home tonight from a trip. So I decided I wanted to stay up until she gets home. I snuck downstairs while dad was doing dishes and scared the hell out of him when he turned around and I was standing there. He made some reference to something called “the shining”. Then I conned him into letting me sit down and wait. That was 7:30. We them watched a few shows. Then a few more. Then it was food time. I conned him into making popcorn. Then, when done, I stole the rest of his. Then carrots. No small ones so dad peeled a few and we ate them. Then more shows. Then… This is Coopers dad. It is now 10:30 and he FINALLY fell asleep on the couch. What 4 1/2 year old rocks out until 10:30 at night eating popcorn and chilling out watching TV? Oh wait…
