Since it's summer my son has been asking to stay up late each night. We've kinda settled at 12:30 a.m. as a good summer bed time.
The other night his best friend was spending the night. Gabe comes into the room and asks me what time he has to go to bed. I respond "Let's stick with the 12:30 mode." I thought for a moment and said "You know what? It's a sleep over. Let's make it 1:00 a.m."
Gabe looks at me with completely serious 11 year old eyes and says "But what about my increased risk of heart disease?"
WHAT????
I burst into laughter... so hard I was crying. Through my tears I asked, "what are you talking about?"
He said "I saw a news program and they said if you don't get enough sleep it can increase your risk of heart disease."
I said, "Gabe, you're eleven! Don't worry about it!"
We had a great, hearty laugh and he went on to enjoy his sleepover.
The funny things kids say!
