Rici

Posted by  | Published in Family Fun  

The last few nights at work have been busy.  I was even able to get an extra shift on Saturday night!  This morning as I was leaving I noticed that Ginger’s car was not in the parking lot.  I drove by her house to make sure all was well.  Poor thing was miserably sick.  So I brought Rici home to play with Nic.  Nicolas’ class was taking a field trip into Portland and Nicolas was not permitted to go without Doug or I.  Unfortunately a bus full of first graders on no sleep did NOT sound like fun.  Doug was working so… we kept Nic at home.  Turns out this was a pivotal moment for Nicolas. He really has been a good kid ever since he found out.  Especially since Lexi told him there are tons of fun field trips in 2nd grade.  Anyway Rici was told by his mom to be good and let me sleep so….

Were driving in the car to my house.

Rici : Auntie?

Me: yes

Rici: Do you know that it’s morning?

Me: yes, I watched the sun rise this morning, it is definitely morning.

Rici: Then why are you going to bed?

Me: oh, I didn’t sleep last night honey, I work at night while you sleep

Rici: oh, well I went to bed when my timer went off.  (This was said in a very noble yet sassy voice.  Apparently I should ask my boss for a timer and tell her I will be sleeping when it goes off.)
