Story of her life.

I let Mary fall asleep next to me while I was reading last night. 

She tried her hardest to fall asleep, but every few minutes she had something new to say. 

"Mary, just close your eyes and eyes and fall asleep!" I said.

"Mommy, my eyes are closed" she told me. 

I looked over, and her eyes were in fact closed.

"Okay, then close your mouth and go to sleep." I said.

She let out a big exasperated sigh and said, 

"But Mommy, I just can't handle not talking!"
