Capitalism at Bedtime

Curie has recently vacated the nursery for Pierce.  She now shares Rigby's room, and his bunkbed.  She sleeps in the full-size bottom bed.  Rigby is technically assigned the top bunk, but he usually makes his nest below with Curie.

Two nights ago, bedtime went like this:

Curie: "Daddy, Rigby's on me!  Get Rigby off!"

Nick: "Rigby, move over to your side."

Rigby: "I just want to snuggle her!"

Curie: "Get him off!"

Nick: "It's her choice if she wants to snuggle.  You can't snuggle her if she doesn't want to."

Rigby sadly slides to his side of the bed.

Rigby: "Curie..."

Nick: "Go to sleep."

Rigby: "Curie..."

Nick: "Go to sleep."

Rigby: "I just have to tell her something."

Nick: "You can tell her in the morning.  Go to sleep."

Rigby: "I have to tell her tonight!  Just one thing."

Nick: "Ok, one thing.  Then go to sleep."

Rigby: "Curie, if you snuggle me, I'll give you a penny."

Elke, thank you so much. Brings back precious memories for me and the mission field. Also, great trips with mom & the boys. There is nothing to compare with Washington, D.C. I love your blog...... Pablo
