last night, sometime between the hours of 2 and 4 a.m.

carson, at the side of my bed, quietly but urgently: "mom! mom!"
me: "mmfgh?"
carson: "i just really wanted to give you a hug."
me, touched but also somewhat annoyed, groggily: "hmm... how 'bout a kiss instead?"
carson: "okay!"
[kisses my cheek]
carson: "goodnight, mom!"
me: "mmfgh."
[runs back downstairs to bed]

Ryan does this every so often and it usually means he woke up to use the potty, but if I didn't tell him to, he would just go back to bed.

Those are the moments where I become Mafia like in my threats for Angie to go to bed. You offer a kiss, I offer the "kiss of death" ... we're really not so different after all.
