Little Mase has water played himself into exhaustion. So I take him upstairs and sit him on the potty while Dub gets familiar with his temporary new bedroom.
After he’s successfully peed, we go into the nursery. I change him and place him on his bed. He goes down without a fuss and is practically asleep by the time I tuck him in and kiss his forehead.
Dub has to be equally tired, but he’s determined to stay up like a big boy. So he climbs up on the couch next to Me-Me.
Wade: Let’s watch a movie, mommy!
Melisa: Okay. *To Kai* We’re going to watch a movie.
Kai: *gotta pee, shuffle walk* I’ll be ready after a quick trip to the bathroom.
Melisa: So, what should we watch? *quickly gives Dub all the kid-friendly movie options*
Dub has chosen the movie by the time I return. So I sit next to Me-Me and tune into the opening scene of Superkids: Cortex Catastrophe – one of my favorites as a child.
Kai: Oh, goodie! You’re going to love this movie, Dub.
I snuggle up next to Me-Me, and we whisper so that Dub can’t hear.
Kai: How long until he’s asleep? I give it 15 minutes.
Me-Me turns and looks at Dub, who’s already struggling, trying to stay awake.
Melisa: I’ll give it 5.
Kai: Bet. What do I get if I win?
Melisa: We’ll decide that when we get upstairs.
Okay, I’m interested.
Kai: And if you win?
Melisa: A bowl of ice cream.
Kai: That’s all? You just want ice cream?
Melisa: *flirty tone* I didn’t say how we’d use the ice cream.
I like what I hear, and I suddenly want Me-Me to win. But Dub holds on for as long as he can- way past 5 minutes. Then his eyes finally close, his head dips to the side, drool begins to form at the corner of his mouth, and he begins to snore softly.
I look over.
Kai: Well, it looks like I win.
Melisa: Yep, we’d better get him upstairs.
Me-Me shakes Dub gently until he wakes up.
Melisa: Time for bed, Dubbie.
Wade: *sleepy protest* But I didn’t see what happened to the space monster.
Kai: We can watch the rest tomorrow. Time to go upstairs.
I guide Dub up the stairs, and Me-Me follows close behind. Once we’ve made sure that Dub is safely in bed, we go to our room.
It turns out that I swam my way into exhaustion as well. I let out a big yawn before Me-Me steps and pulls me close.
Melisa: Are you too tired for your prize?
Kai: That depends on what it is.
Me-Me pulls off her shirt and shorts. My heart almost stops when I see that the line panties are back. It’s been a while since I’ve seen those, and I suddenly have a reserve of energy.
Melisa: *teasing* If you’re too tired, we can just go to sleep.
She steps away, but I’m not about to let her go too far.
Kai: Where do you think you’re going?
I hurry and take off my stuff to match her level of undress. Then I walk over and lift her in my arms.
Kai: *whispers in her ear* I won the bet – but you’re about to get the prize.
