A Classic

My kids come up with some wild excuses to postpone bedtime. Besides the every night ones (thirsty, bathroom, monsters in room), I enjoy hearing what other craziness they invent. I think, however, tonight was the winner. Benjamin, after all the other excuses were exhausted and I thought he was finally asleep, reappeared with a very sheepish grin on his face and said, "My toe nail is too long on this foot (indicating the big toe on his right foot) and it scratches against the sheets. It's so noisy that it's keeping me awake." Ha! I have to hand it to him. That's a classic.
