Tonight's the Night!

When I was little, I decided it would be great fun to not go to sleep and instead continue to play. At those times, I would announce to Libby and Sarah just before they went to bed “tonight’s the night!” In response, Libby and Sarah would ignore me, favoring their pillows to hours more of play. So I’d sleep too, rejected. Since those nights never turned out to be the night, I became like the doomsayers, predicting an event which never comes. Some night, maybe, a worthy cause will draw me from these blankets. But tonight is not that night.
