Putting a child to sleep

I have just put a child to sleep. My child. She is so beautiful, lying there in the light from the lava lamp. The light goes up and it goes down as the wax gathers at the bottom of the bottle covering the lamp. She turns this way, she turns that way, she checks if I am there and then finally, she is really asleep and I can leave. Do I really have to leave? Can’t I just sleep there, right next to the princess? Well, I have another princess to take care of to night. Good night!

  1. Umm, Peter, you are aware that “putting someone/something to sleep” is an euphemism for killing someone or something? 😛
