At the Midnight Hour ...


It was just after midnight, as I stepped out of the upstairs bathroom and was heading to bed. Suddenly in the darkness, light arms wrapped themselves around my waist. Beetle was up ...
"Hey Baby," I said softly, "what are you doing?"
"I'm soooooo tired," she whispered, her arms still wrapped around my waist.
"Why don't you go back to bed?" I said patting her head, "It's the middle of the night."
"OH !" came the surprised reply, "I thought it was morning ..." her voice trailed off into a yawn followed by a sleepy, "Good night." and the patter of feet heading back to bed.
I went into her bedroom and tucked her in with a kiss and a soft, "Silly Girl!!" that brought a smile to her sleepy face ...
