Falling out of favor

She was in her bed, it was 8:00pm. She was put down for the night about 15 minutes prior.

She had been quiet, but suddenly a song came wafting down the stairs...

"Daddddddy.....I wuvvv you!!!"

She continued to repeat this song, over and over, sometimes changing Daddy to Mommy, but rarely as I am far less inclined to respond than he. We smiled at each other, thinking how cute she is, touched at her sweet and yet manipulative attempt to be free from her bed.

When we didn't come to her aid, the lyrics of the song soon changed:

"Elllll--mo....I wuvvvv you!!!!"


Oh how quickly we fall.
