Scene: Zoey's room. About 20 minutes ago. I'm tucking her in.
Zoey: Mom? (Because "Mommy" and "Daddy" are soooo last year.) What are you doing now?
Me: Hmmmm.... (contemplating possibilites) I don't know. What do you think I'm going to be doing, now that you're in bed?
Zoey: (heavy sigh) Probably playing Candy Land.
Me: (Almost managing not to snicker) Um, no. I think I'll wait for you to wake up before I play Candy Land.
Zoey: Promise?
Me: Believe me. Big promise.

This made my heart melt/break at the same time. Poor kid! Thinking you play Candy Land while she sleeps. Little does she know that when babies go to bed, mommies watch boring things on TV, read books, and eat too much while wearing sweatpants. Oh, and laundry.
