I started this in my journal. But someone prodded me to make it a thread. I wanted to write down all of the excuses my children come up with to delay bedtime or to come out of their room after they are supposedly already in bed. It would be fun and interesting to read what other parents hear every night and how they deal with it.

Last night, my daughter (age 9 1/2) came out of her within 10 minutes to tell me her legs were sticking together. I am pretty sure it was her weird way of telling me she was too warm. I told her I'd turn on the air conditioner. Within minutes she was sleeping.

Today's excuse: She came out holding herself just under her underam and said her tummy hurt. I told her last time I checked, her tummy was down farther and in the front. I told her to change her shirt, maybe the shirt was irritating it. Let's see if she stays in her room now.

Anyone else want to share? I am sure we could all use a good chuckle and perhaps learn from each other.
