Go back to bed!

Things my children have gotten out of bed to say to me tonight:

  • I don’t want to go to school tomorrow
  • I can’t find [name of toy]
  • I want [name of toy I lent to my sibling] back
  • if I’m ill, I don’t have to go to school tomorrow, right?
  • I can’t sleep
  • I might be ill: I don’t think I should go to school tomorrow
  • I want a hot water bottle
  • I’m too hot
  • I’ve lost my hot water bottle
  • I spilt my water1
  • I went to the toilet because I thought I was going to throw up but I didn’t but I think I’m too ill to go to school tomorrow
  • my book is wet
  • I forgot to brush my teeth
  • I don’t like these pyjamas
  • I still can’t sleep
