It’s naptime, according to me anyway. D’Lo is (as usual) resisting with all his might. He’s whining…and he’s wiggling…and he’s tossing and turning. Finally, I hear him say:
D’Lo: “It’s thirty o’clock!”
Me: “It’s thirty o’clock?! What are you talking about?”
D’Lo: “It’s thirty o’clock…time to get up!”
For anyone wondering, he never did go to sleep…Darn that thirty o’clock!
