go to bed...

to which she said
"I can't"
"why not?" I asked
"I'm scared" she said
"of what" I wondered
"the dark" was her first response
oh trust me she has a wealth of reasons in her store in her nightly quest to not have to sleep in "her" bed
I turned her night light on and once again said good night
she sat at the top of the step and fake cried
I walked by and suggested she would be more comfortable laying down
apparently she agreed...
not quite what I meant (the in your bed part was missed by her)
she is asleep on the step
of course I moved her, thinking it couldn't possible be comfortable sleeping in such a way....
I should have known it would just be a hit repeat and start all over again type of night.
she did eventually go to sleep in her bed, sorta
but woke in my bed this morning...
no, I'm not exactly sure how this happens
