I Have a Deee-a

"Hey, Pete, why don't you build one more tower and they we'll have a little nap."

(I suggested the nap a full hour earlier than normal due to the fact that he woke up with some major morning grumpies)

"NOOOOOOO!" 

Long pause, while I geared up for or twelfth battle of the morning, and then:

"Um, Mama. I have a deee-a. How bout I have a nap right now!"

"That's a great idea, Peter! Let's do it!"

"Okay. And when I wake up, we have eggs for dinner a-night?" 

"Sure."

"Oh! Tank you very much!"

We read a couple books, his head hit the pillow, and he was out five minutes later.

And it looks like I've got an easy dinner for tonight as well. Winner, winner; eggs for dinner. Thanks, Pete.
