The Tip-off

How to tell your kid is sick, if your kid is Lorin:*

Rather than stall bedtime by requesting "one last book" multiple times (which is the best stall of all - do I sacrifice my kid's sleep or her love for reading?), Lorin refused a second book because she "want[ed] to go to sleep." Wish granted.

* In addition to the 256-degree fever, the hours of inconsolable sobbing-crying, the need to be attached to my body at all times, and the waking up in the middle of the night.
