sleeping, flip flops, its all the same.

i truly do not understand the phenomenon that is tired children. for some reason when children are tired they do not have the ability to just go to sleep like regular people. im not sure why, i dont think the concept is that hard, when im sleepy, i just go to bed. but for some reason my children do not know that when they are tired they can just close their eyes and take care of business. instead they cry and scream about how tired they are... literally, the older one will scream 'night night,' but to actually go to sleep on his own. no way.

its almost like standing in a fully stocked kitchen and whining about how hungry you are. ok, maybe its not totally like that because who hasnt stood in front of the fridge with door open for a good 7 minutes and still not found anything to eat. maybe its more like getting ready to walk out the door, looking at your flip flops and for some reason unbeknownst to you, you are unequipped to actually put them on your feet therefore rendering you unable to leave the house. yeah, i think its more like that.

so if anyone wants to come over and teach my children how to put on flip flops and go to sleep on their own it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
