Why Love?

We were in the middle of the daily routine arguments on who gets to sleep near the Mother. The Mother prefers to sleep in the edge of the bed to get some breathing space on alleast one side and graciously allows one of the 3 children to debate and fight it out, to get the chance to sleep beside her.

The 4year-old: Amma, today also I want to sleep near you.

The Mother: Why do you want to sleep beside me?

The 4yo: Because I looovve you, Amma!!

(expecting an even more endearing reply)

The Mother: Why do you looovve me so much?

The 4yo: Because I'm used to you.

The 4yo: Why do we get dreams in the night, Amma?

Mother: When we are alseep and the brain gets bored, it starts to play some video inside and watch it.

The 4yo: (satisfied with the answer) Ahh! Now it all makes sense.

Our first pre-teen son going through the phase of arbitrary zzz cycles -

"When it is raining outside, we must get under a blanket and try to sleep to our fullest potential."
