Parenting Epiphany

Today, while reading Smiter Jr and Smitrilla a bedtime story -- an edifying one, about the uses of Gaulish beer in provincial Roman orgies of the early Imperial period* -- I had a brilliant revelation. Smiter Jr likes to go to bed early on school nights, and he falls asleep quite easily. Smitrilla, however, likes to stay up as late as she can get away with. So, I shall decree that Smitrilla's bedtime is now 4 pm, and insist definitively that she be in bed no later than 4 hours past her bedtime!!!
