Real life excuses I've heard from my kids at bedtime. |
1 I'm thirsty! If I don't get a drink right now, my throat will be so dry that I'll suffocate in my sleep! 2 I have to go to the bathroom. Again. I also need to take a book with me because it might take a few minutes. 3 It's too hot! If I fall asleep while it's so hot, I might have a heat stroke in my sleep! 4 It's too dark! I need a light on so I won't get scared. 5 It's too cold! If I fall asleep while it's so cold, I might freeze to death! 6 It's too bright! The nightlight is shining right into my eyes! 7 I'm hungry! If I don't get a snack, I might starve to death in my sleep! 8 There are too many pillows in my bed! My neck feels weird. It might be broken! 9 It's too quiet! I can hear the house breathing and it's scary! 10 You said I could stay up late tonight. Remember? I asked you when you were on the phone. 11 There's too much noise! How can I sleep when my music box is so loud? 12 I need to ask you something really important. I can't remember what it is, but I will in a minute. 13 You forgot to hug me! Don't you love me? 14 I need to brush my teeth again or I might wake up with a bunch of cavities! 15 I need to find that special doll that I used to sleep with when I was little. It might be in one of my toy boxes. I should go look. 16 I need to finish practicing my spelling words or I might fail my quiz tomorrow! 17 Tell me again why I have to go to bed earlier than everyone else I know?! 18 I need you to read me that story again. I fell asleep before the end and now I can't go back to sleep until I know what happened! Please? Word Count: 337 Written for "Invalid Item" |
