Read-aholics Anonymous

So, we're sitting here tonight watching our shows, relaxing, you know the drill, when we hear this thump from upstairs. I'm thinking, "Oh, no. Brian just fell out of bed. Do I hear him crying?" We go upstairs (Troy needed a potty break anyway) and Brian’s lamp is on. I know I didn’t leave it on when I said good-night. I go in there and he’s sound asleep hugging like five books. One of them had fallen off the bed making the thump.
I can’t believe that kid!

Does that remind you of someone? I wonder how many times my mom found me asleep with my light on and a book in my hand. How many kids sneak a flashlight under their covers so they can keep reading the latest and greatest? We’re going to have to keep an eye on this one. . .
