Tony had taken Madelyn out to get soccer cleats after dinner. Alyson had had a cold and was a bit cranky, so I stayed home with her to give her a bath and get her to bed. Tony usually reads Alyson her bedtime story. When it was story time, I took the top book off of the pile closest to the rocking chair as per Alyson's orders.
Alyson, as I put the book on the pile after we finished reading it: No! It goes on that pile.
Me, as I put the book on the shorter, farther away pile instead: Okay then.
Alyson, giving me a lecture: This pile is the books we haven't read. That one is the ones we read. If it's a long book, I only get one book. If it's a short book, I get another book. But, if it's two short books, I get another book. But I don't get two long books. When we're done this pile we get new books for the pile.
