Alice: Mom, we need to discuss my bedtime routine- Mom: Alice: Mom: Everynight we go through this complicated rigmarole. First we read "the very cranky vole" using the silly voice. Mom: Then there's the hugaboo dance, the oopsie bedtime pratfall, the where's polyfill game.... Mom: The nighty night song and funny tummy drum solo, the underbed peekaboo and finally the hush hush sneakaway lullaby! Alice: That's what I mean! We're in a rut-we need to try new stuff! Something exciting, maybe with car chases! Mom: The point of your bedtime routine is to make you sleepy, not to get you excited. Mom: Good night. Alice: The abrupt blackout is fine for a cheap shock ending but a good car chase would be more dramatically satisfying.
