Role Reversal

Lately, as my husband tucks the mid-kid into bed she has taken to telling him a bedtime story. He delivers sips of water, hair smoothes, tickles, smooches and quilt tucks, and she fills his ear with an enthusiastic rendition of a much-loved bedtime story.

Currently she is recounting the Twelve Labors of Hercules.

Hercules' Third Labor- mucking the cow stalls of King Augeas- is tonight's featured program. (Line forms to the right.)

Can you send her to my house to tuck me into bed?

Ha! Nothing like a little Hercules to put you to sleep.;)

We strangely just a read a version of this yesterday. While I had heard of Hercules and the twelve labors, I didn't know the story. Glad I'm finally getting my elementary education.

Love to you all Erin - and stay cozy this weekend.
