Well the bad news is that the Little One has managed to cough herself awake.The good news is that after being at work all evening, this meant I got to read her a good night story.

As she asked mummy to come up stairs and turn her lamp off I left mummy to it, and retreated downstairs onto the PC. I had just decided to do the sensible thing and switch it off, when I heard a gentle “boo”

“What are you doing down here?” I ask, “I came downstairs”.

“Ok… Does mummy know you’re down here?”

“No”

“What do you think she’ll say”

“She’ll laugh”

I sometimes wonder if she gets my reactions to things confused with mummy’s.

She didn’t laugh.
