Nocturnal

These are our Grands, who live in a populous, sunny state to the south of us. Grandson is in Kindergarten this year at the school where I was once the vice principal. I love it that he's around people who used to be my colleagues.

So the story, as I heard it second-hand, goes like this:

Daughter was getting ready to go to work (she does night shifts, and Son-in-law gets the kids to bed). She just happened to overhear Grandson whisper to Granddaughter, "We're going to stay up all night."

"Oh no you're not!" said Daughter, whipping around to nail them with Mother-speak.

"Yes we are!" Grandson replied. "We're nocturnal!"

Ah, the corrupting power of education!
