Don't Let the Bugs Bite!

Most nights, I say to the pipsqueak, "Good night," to which he replies, "Sleep tight."

Then I say, "Don't let the bugs bite!"

But this causes him to squirm around in the bed looking for the bugs: "Where?? Where is 'em?" I can't tell if his reaction is excitement or concern about the possibility of bugs in the bed, but I thought it might be best to drop the last bit just in case.

So for the last two nights, when he says "sleep tight," I have not said anything at all. However, after he's waited a minute for me to say my line, he's filled in for me: "Don't let the bugs eat me!"

I think perhaps he was concerned after all!
