Corwyn & I had gone over to Isabel's house late one night do deliver
something, can't remember what off the top of my head. We ended up
staying even later because it was just her and Ana in the house, and as
we always do, started chatting about Spanish stuff and Arts & Sciences stuff and
upcoming A&S evil plots and random stuff, probably involving A&S. We
ended up on the couches, watching TV, and came across a show titled
"Ancient Forensic Mysteries" or something like that.
The show was definitely pitched to a different audience, but I was
intrigued by the subject matter, so we kept it on - and since there were
frequent commercials, we'd chat about the show in the off minutes, coming
up with all sorts of ideas as to what caused the mystery. We had fun, and
it kept us amused.....and the hour got later and later.
It was way past Ana's bedtime, but being a Friday, it didn't matter much,
but she was falling asleep half-sprawled across Isabel's lap. Isabel kept
saying, "Honey, don't you want to go to bed?" and Ana would shake her
head "no"..... Finally, Isabel said "Honey, why don't you want to go to
bed? Is something wrong? Is the show bothering you?" And Ana again shook
her head "no", and in the sleepiest kid voice I've heard in a long time,
said, "Must......learn......things!"
Be careful what you say, little ears are listening!
