At midnight last night I had this conversation with Monkey:
Monkey: “Mommy, I need to see you.”
Me: “What do you need?”
Monkey: “The thingy”
Me: “What thingy?”
Monkey: “The thingy is in the car”
Me: “I’m sorry, I’m not going out to the car to get the thingy at midnight. Go back to sleep.”
Monkey (crying): “But I need the thingy, please go to the car”
Me: “I’m sorry, we will get the thingy in the morning”
Monkey cries and then “Daddy, daddy I need you”
Daddy: “Go back to sleep Monkey”
Monkey: “Daddy”
Daddy gets up and goes to Monkey’s room
Monkey: “Daddy, get the thingy”
Daddy: “No Monkey, the thingy is in the car and we will get it in the morning, it will be fine in the car. Good night”
Monkey: “Mommy, the thingy, please?”
Me: “Go to sleep Monkey”
A few tears and drink of water later Monkey has drifted off to dream.
By the way, the thingy is, of all things, a nail file. My Monkey feels most secure when all of her possessions are nearby.
