Time for bed, sweet child

Why?

Because it's night time and it's time for you to brush your teeth

But it's still bright outside!

It's not even fully summer yet how will i manage when it's not dark at 10pm

I'm so glad I remember to tell my wife to not tie bed-time to darkness back in winter lol think-about-it

yes daylight savings time conspires against parents. you just get used to one schedule and suddenly you're getting interrogated as to why the sun isn't where it's supposed to be.

similar to the loop I get caught in trying to explain why the moon is visible in the sky late afternoon, which she's pretty sure shouldn't be able to happen. 'but the moon's for night!'

I'm starting to feel like pepe-silvia as i try to show and explain why things happen

alex-aware "Listen kid, everything the books tells you is a LIE. The moon isn't beholden to the darkness! Invisible forces beyond our control move US and THE MOON in a clock-like fashion through space and time! Deep physiological interplay at the quantum level creates everything we know and see! Those books won't tell you that, and you have to wonder why!"
