Tonight, like every other night, I had to ask Eli to go to bed at least 13 times. On the last time he replied, "Why do I need to be in my bed?". To which I answered, "Because, I need to know you are doing your work by getting enough rest." His retort was, "Why can't I rest out here with you?" Trying to put an end to this game I said, "Because the people who sleep in their beds are the well-rested ones." Without hesitation Eli stunned me with, "Well, I don't want to be like other peolple. I just want to be like myself." Game point. I made him a pallet on the floor of his bedroom.
