The Bogie and the beast

My little one will try absolutely anything to get out of going to bed at night.  I mean, we all get the "Mom, it's too dark in my room!" and "MOM, I neeeed a drink of water!" but I think my kid takes it to the next level sometimes.  Take last night for instance...


The hubby puts C down for the night.  A few minutes later he appears at the top of the stairs waving a Kleenex around saying "Mom, I have a bogie in my nostril!"  So, mom cleans his nose and sends him back to bed.  A few minutes later he appears at the top of the stairs again, another Kleenex in hand saying "Mom, I have a bogie in my other nostril!"  So, mom wipes his not so dirty nose and sends him back to bed.   Minutes later he appears again brandishing yet another Kleenex.  "Mom, I think you need to blow your nose."  Now, I have had a cold lately but I'm pretty sure that my 2 yr old was not concerned in the least bit about the state of my nose.  It took several more tries and several more Kleenex before he finally stayed in his bed.

 So, make me feel better...what crazy things have your kids done to keep from going to sleep?
