I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges. Bedtime! Bedtime! Now!
Me: Looks like everyone is asleep already.
Stella: Do I look like I am asleep?
Me: No, but…
Stella: Are you asleep?
Me: No, but…
Stella: That was the whole point. Do you notice something about my eyes?
Me: Well, they are open…
Stella: And…
Me: They are staring right at me.
Stella: Guess what?
Me: What?
Stella: They are going to keep doing this until we go to bed.
Me: I set my own bedtime.
Stella: How wrong you are! Hey, what are you doing?
Me: I am averting my gaze.
Stella: That sounds painful.
Me: It means that I am not looking at you. Keep on staring all you want.
Stella: Oh, I am. Bedtime. Bedtime. Bedtime. Bedtime. Bedtime…
Me: Okay. Okay. We’ll go.
Stella: If you insist, Lady Human.
