11 Things I've learned from staying up all night with my son

11 Things I've learned from staying up all night with my son.

1. A very clever toy boat can be made with a large Lego block, a pencil and

a thing piece of foam

2. Cats are definitely nocturnal...and they like to prove this by repeatedly

chasing one another across my desk, spilling my coffee and scratching my

legs.

3. Coffee only keeps me awake for the first hour or so then the effects wear

off.

4. My fingers wrinkle during the third shower in four hours.

5. " X-Files " comes on at 3am on Friday mornings on TNT.

6. My dog *does* need to pee in the middle of the night. Evidently he's just

been holding it on the rare nights I'm actually sleeping.

7. Cooking is even less enjoyable at 3:30 in the morning...but so are cold

hamburgers left in the fridge from supper.

8. The world is very quiet at night but I'm too zombified to decide if that

s lonely or peaceful.

9. Empty boxes make excellent robots if stacked just right.

10. Some trees in the rain forest have some type of milk in them instead of

sap.

11. " Myth Busters " comes on TV very late, but will teach you about things

like milk trees in rainforests.
