role reversal

Meg was all set and ready for bed tonight. We'd picked out books and were just about to read (which is the very last thing in the bedtime routine), when my phone rang. I was getting a soccer update and then had a little chat about some other stuff that maybe wasn't so important, but you know....Meg was apparently very ready for bed. She looks up at me and says, "You know Mommy, you need to get off the phone and read these books to me. I'm supposed to be in bed by now!" Ahhhhh...getting parented by your child. What a great feeling. I quickly told my friend that I'd better go, I was worried at that point that I might've gotten grounded or something! :)
