Because Mike has been out of town, Ellie has taken up residence in my bed at night. (oh, and it didn't surprise me to find that she doesn't stop talking even after she falls asleep.) Anyway, before we both drifted off one night, she asked me to ask her a question. Before I could say yes or no, she continued on in one of her classic run-on sentence, no breathing, no pausing sort of ways.
"BecauseIamjustnotfeelingtiredrightnowandIreallylikeitwhenyouaskmequestionsbecauseitmakesmetired andmakesmewanttofallasleepandwillyoupleasejustaskmeONEquestionandthenIwillgotosleepifyoujustaskmeONElittlequestion."
"OK!......Ellie, what is you favorite thing about school?"
"Lunch."
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight"

You should have said, "will you please go to sleep?"
After all that, the only thing she could come up with was Lunch? I'm SO disappointed. But I bet you're glad that's all she said...a good night's rest is a precious thing.
that is HILARIOUS!!!! Seriously laughing right now! Love it!
