R just came to me, at 2 am, and asked me if she could have a long peice of firewood. She whispered it and I had to ask her what she said 3 times. I'm not 100% sure but I'm almost certain she said three different things. A different one each time I asked her. Finally I woke up and told her to just say it out loud and than she asked for a long piece of firewood. I asked her why she wanted it and she woke up and looked at me like I had two heads. Papa said he thought she was asleep. So I told her to go pee and go back to bed. After she went to the bathroom she came back to me so I told her to run off to bed. She smiled at me so I asked her if she remembered where her bed was? Of course she says, standing still. So I rubbed her head and told her to go to bed. She left. S is up now to nurse but when I put him back to bed I'll go make sure R found her bed. I very much doubt R will remember this at all in the morning. I wonder if Papa will? He was snoring when I came back to bed with S, who is snoring now. After putting S to bed I checked, she was in bed.
The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture.

Deuteronomy 11:18-19
18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Deuteronomy 11:18-19
