Go to Sleep!!!

Here is a typical conversation between myself and Violet around bedtime. 

Me: Goodnight Violet. I love you. (turning off the lights and closing the door)

Violet: I love you too.

1 minute later.

Violet: Mommy!!! Mama!!!  Ma!!!

Me: (Opening the door) What is it Violet?

Violet: I am thirsty.

Me: (bringing her water) OK, now it's time to go to sleep.

1 minute later.

Violet: Mommy!!! Mama!!!  Ma!!!

Me: (Opening the door) What is it Violet?

Violet: Hmmmmm. Ummmm.  I have an idea!!!

Me: What is it?

Violet: Ummm. Hmmm.  Let's play with train tracks!

Me: Violet, you have to go to sleep now.  It's past your bedtime and this is the LAST time I go in here.  Go to sleep!

1 minute later.

Violet: Mommy!!! Mama!!!  Ma!!!

Me: (to Gene) I am NOT going in there again.  

Violet: Mommmmmyyyyyyy!

Me: (to Gene) OK, I am caving, but this is seriously the last time!

Me: (to Violet) What's wrong?

Violet: Mommy, I have another idea.

Me: Tell me your new idea.

Violet: I want to go kaki.

Me: OK, that's not an idea unless you mean you have an idea on how to sucker me back into your room and allow you out of bed.

Violet: (big grin as she gets out of bed and heads to the potty)

5 minutes later. Silence.  She's asleep?!?!?!

1 minutes later...

♫ Five little monkeys jumping on the bed.  One fell off and bumped his head.  Mama called the doctor and the doctor said, "No, more monkeys jumping on the bed." Four little monkeys jumping on the bed...♫
