At about 10 PM, Biscuit curls up with my husband and me for the night.

1:00 AM

Biscuit: Daddy!

Husband: snrrrrrgh. *rolls over*

Biscuit: *walks over to me* Mommy?

Me: *tries to hide in the blankets*

Biscuit: *digging at blankets* Moooooommmmmy.

Me: Go away, cat.

Biscuit: *bangs on the dresser drawers* Mommy!

Me: What is it, you little pest?

Biscuit: I want a drink of water.

Me: You have a water fountain downstairs.

Biscuit: I want a drink of water from the faucet.

Me: *runs water in the sink and goes back to sleep*

3:30 AM

Biscuit: Mommy!

Me: *groans*

Biscuit: *walks all over my head and purrs* I'm hungry.

Me: Why can't you learn to go through your pet door?

Biscuit: Pet door is scary!

Me: *takes the cat downstairs and gives her the heave-ho through the pet door*

Biscuit: *munch*

5:30 AM

Biscuit: GOOD MORNING! It is time for you to be awake!

Husband and me: Caaaaaaaaaaaat. Can't you wait until 5:45?

Biscuit: No, I want to play NOW. Also you should feed me.

Me: We should get rid of the alarm clock. We don't need it.
