Bedtime stories.

As parents, we make trivial decisions everyday.
Well, they seem trivial.

Like when I had to put Lisa to bed on Monday night, and asked her to pick a book for me to read to her:

Time it took for Homer to quickly relieve himself in the bathroom: 2 minutes
Time it took for Bart to give Lisa his 'Incredibles' story book to read: < 2 minutes.
Time it took before Lisa found a scary looking drawing: 4 minutes.
Duration that Lisa slept before waking up screaming from an 'Incredible' nightmare: 3 hours.
Time it took for Homer to comfort her to get back to sleep: 2 hours.

Priceless.

Note to self: "In future, restrict the available range of bedtime stories and associated images."
