Scene: kitchen table 10 minutes after bedtime should have started. Child is finishing a homework assignment to write 10 statements about themselves for a true/false "get to know you" activity.
Me: Finish up- it is bedtime
Child: I am almost done, I have two more to finish
Me: Okay, let me see them when you are finished
Child: (a few minutes later) Look I am done.
Me: Great- off to bed
Child: (reaches for a notebook and begins to write)
Me: What are you doing now?
Child: Writing down the answers.
Me: Don't you already know the answers, they are about you.
Child: Yes, but I might forget
Sigh.......
