Ah, tradition

Michael reads to the kids each night.  He gets tired, because it’s right after a long day and right after dinner, and he often nods off while reading. 

Naomi:  Don’t close your eyes!  If you do, I will become angry and may even WAKE YOU UP!

As I recall, my sisters and I were not nearly so kind.  Our routine was like this:

Dad:  Once upon a…

Me:  [sticking Dad in the side with a sharp little elbow]  READ!

I’m pretty sure that Dad often got elbowed from both sides.  Our kids haven’t figured out the elbowing yet.  Or maybe they tried it and Michael put a stop to it. 

In any case, it’s good to know that the traditions continue.
