How can I describe last night? The plan was simple. First born was persuaded that if she had a sleep after tea, then she could be woken up in time for the 'party'. It was thought that second born was too young to join the festivities.
Indeed, it worked well, to begin with. First born woke naturally around 11:15. It wasn't exactly a party. Just the family, some crisps (with homemade dip), and some bottles, one of which contained whisky. And, of course, the television. And, no, I wasn't wearing my kilt.
And then, to bed. Except that second born woke. First born hadn't, by then, gone to sleep. So, for a few hours, two children, partially rested, didn't really want to go to sleep. While daddy, wife, and granny really, really did want to get some sleep.
Thanks, Gnome, for your suggestion. I was thinking of doing something along those lines, but I was keen to involve brother in the registration process. He came up with a username of his own invention. It intrigues me how some people manage to come up with short, memorable, unique usernames for themselves.
