Heard as a sobbing scream from Alice's room 45 min after bedtime:

"Daddy! There's a bug on my bed! A bug on my blanket and it looks like an ant! A poisonous one!"

  1. Poor baby! Did Bobby boldly rush in and save the day? Or did you get out a magnifying glass and call it a biological teaching moment?

  2. Uh, well, this wasn't the first call from Alice's room after bedtime last night, just the most urgent. We had already let her know that we were done coming back to answer her questions about random things and we would only come back for an EMERGENCY.

    When we heard her call for help, we kinda looked at each other wondering if Alice could be THAT good of an actress. She's not. Bobby couldn't find the ant, but Alice still managed (between sobs) to tell him about this sad book she had just finished looking through where a mean bear ate a little rabbit's lunch at school. She was so tired that you couldn't tell which situation was making her cry more.
