Bed Time Stories

So my olders have to pay me a dollar if they don't go to bed when told.
Very good motivator for them.
However, D is three, and he needs promises of grand adventures in the morning. SOmething to look forward to. Needs to know he is recharging for a reason.
So last night, he needed to know why he had to go to bed.
Cause we're going to a park.
A Park?
Yes
Which park?
The WSU Park.
Oh! I know that park. I like that park. (In the sweetest angelic 3 yr. old voice.)
Dear 12 yr. old A, almost blew it.
Park? WSU has a park?
Yes, using my arms and spreading them wide. "It is big and has lots of trees and green grass," I say while giving her the evil eye that communicates if you ruin this for me, you will suffer!
Wink and a smile and she replies, "yes, the WSU park"
It is a good thing he likes that park. Cause when Daddy is busy on WSU days, it can be a long wait for Dear Sister to be done playing her violin.
