Do Not Wake Your Father Up

Why is this such a hard thing to understand?  If your father is asleep at any time during the day—then he is tired.  Let him sleep.  Don't stand right beside him and ask if he's awake, multiple times.   Don't stand outside the bedroom making loud, banging noises and then act surprised when he is woken up.   And whatever you do, do NOT keep using "Alexa, tell everyone" again and again, especially when I have found you and told you expressly to NOT do this.  

"oh, I forgot" is the common answer I get when chasing down a child two floors away to let them know if they announce over the intercom one more time, <insert consequence event>.  

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter needed help getting, "the little car" out of the garage for Leo, the next-door-neighbor's adorable three-year-old.  Or maybe he's four now.   He is talking very well and wow, can he drive a tiny Tesla Model S car well.  His grandparents were visiting and they were the nicest people to talk to while Leo was driving around and not running into anyone or anything. 

The Big Boy and His Friends:  My son has friends come over a lot now.  Why they don't go to the other houses is a bit of a mystery.  My son, upon one coming in today said, "don't message everyone else, this is enough people over."   He came downstairs and made himself a makeshift dinner and I asked how many friends he'd left upstairs.  Four, he said, but they were okay playing without him.
