As a parent, I often find myself monitoring my little ones with a video baby monitor. Some might call it overkill, but I need to know if they’re genuinely asleep or just biding their time until I check on them. My kids are quite clever. After tucking them in, I glance at the monitor every few minutes to see what they’re up to.
Sometimes they’re giggling or chatting; other times, they’re in a playful frenzy. But what intrigues me most is when they lie silently in their cribs, gazing at the ceiling. I can’t help but wonder, “What thoughts are running through their minds?” Here are some of my musings:
- Why does Leo the Lion wear pajamas but not clothes during the day? Kids are observant creatures!
- What’s the best way to score some candy? Honestly, even I think about this at midnight when I’m tempted to sneak out for some treats.
- What does Mom do while I’m dreaming? Probably indulging in candy.
- How long do I have to behave before I can have a piece of candy? Spoiler alert: it’s not happening, kiddo. Candy is for grown-ups.
- Why does Mom shut the door when she uses the bathroom while I can just go anywhere? Well, you’re still figuring out potty training. At least you get to watch TV while you’re at it!
- This diaper is restricting my freedom. Maybe I’ll just take it off and toss it into my sibling’s crib. Looks like we’ll need to add “duct tape diapers” to our nightly routine.
- Why is wearing clothes such a big deal? Unfortunately, that’s one question I can’t fully explain.
- Is it bath night tomorrow? It better be, especially if spaghetti is on the menu!
- Candy, candy, candy! Just a little more patience, my sweet child.
- I don’t really understand what “coffee” is, but it seems very important to Mom. Please stop spilling it—it makes her sad.
- How old do I have to be to enjoy cheesecake for breakfast like Mom did today? Maybe when you move out. Sharing is not in my vocabulary.
- I should explain to Mom that grapes aren’t candy. She might not get it yet. Good job, young one! Now enjoy nature’s sweets.
- Why does my sibling have an extra finger down there? We’ll talk about that when you’re much older. I really need more coffee… and maybe some whiskey.
- Why does that spider keep climbing up the water spout? Clearly, it’s not the sharpest tool in the shed because it didn’t eat its veggies.
- I really like Mom. She’s clever, funny, and amazing. I want to grow up to be just like her—so I can buy all the candy. Just make sure you earn enough money to fulfill your candy dreams, but not so much that I end up in a home!
