Somehow I’ve lucked out and have an 8yo who thinks secretly reading under the covers past her bedtime is an act of rebellion, and it hasn’t yet occurred to her that her flashlights never seem to run out of batteries.

Thanks to everyone who mentioned headlamps. We actually put one out where she'd see it, and she gave it a try, but she prefers her trusty LED flashlight.

So many nice dad compliments (which I really appreciate) but my wife is in on it too. It takes teamwork to maintain this ruse.

Oh wow, if you like books maybe pick up a copy of my wife’s achingly beautiful novel about the love affair between Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok?
