Night Tight

Most of you have probably noticed that I am intensely fascinated with my daughters. But then again, how could I not be?

A few months ago, while giving our goodnights, A told me, "Mommy, night tight.......Say it, say it." I don't know where she heard it from, but I had a hunch of what she wanted to hear so I gave in. "Good night, sleep tight; Don't let the bedbugs bite," I said. Since then, every night, she would insist we bid each other goodnight that way. Tonight, as I passed by their bedroom door, she called out, "Mommy, good night, sleep tight; Don't let the bugs eat you."
