The Switch

"Momma, why is there a switch in my brain?"

Hmmm... I say, "I don't know. What does the switch do?"

After some probing, I found Poppa has been trying to help Abby work through her night troubles. The switch troubled her some (I believe the context was Poppa telling her that there was a switch in her brain that told her when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to get up).

Snort.

What a wonderful girl. I was running out of ideas and decided to give her the basics of the Pineal gland at the front end of the brain which - research has shown needs the lack of light stimulation to relax. That she accurately remembered that is so sweet. Good thing I don't live so close .. I'd be there holding her hand until 3 am! (Such are the real solutions from Poppa! - I get to leave REALLY explaining brain anatomy to Mommy and Daddy)

Just where were you when Adrea needed her hand held until 3 a.m.???? Huh? Huh?

Men certainly do improve with age!
