The Sleep-Wake Up Game

Boba likes to play this game with Daddy and me - and there's no predicting when she wants to play it; she'll just sort of yell it out whenever she wants. One would think that she'd play it when we're still lying in bed, or when we're about to go to bed, but sometimes she'll play it at the most inopportune times, like when I'm driving, or when Daddy's brushing his teeth. It goes like this:

Boba: MOMMY! DADDY!

Either one of us: Yes, baby?

Boba: Sleep!

Me or J: What?

Boba: SLEEP!

Me or J: Um, okay. (We close our eyes and lean back. Peeking out for a moment we see that she is doing the same.)

(After 3 seconds) Boba: WAKE UP!

Us: (opening our eyes with a start) WHOA!

Boba: BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Repeat 5 or 6 times.

Okay, so now imagine this game while you're driving. Or while you're tending to a hot stove. Yeah, Boba doesn't get when this game isn't exactly appropriate. But boy, does she love it. It's been around for maybe 3 months now. I think it will be a keeper for a while. Maybe she'll use it when she's 17 and trying to smuggle beer into the house. That should be fun.
