Three books Sam is working on

I believe my boy could be a budding author. He's got a sparkling imagination and a trillion things to say. Here are three book titles I foresee in his future:

500 Reasons I Can't Do What You're Asking - A non-comprehensive list of entirely valid excuses for disobedience.

I'll Take What She's Got - A study on jealousy. That pink comb didn't mean a thing to me until sister picked it up, but it means everything now!!!

Let's Talk About Volcanoes (All The Time) - How hot is lava? Why is it so hot? What is lava made from? What are volcanoes made of? Why do they erupt? What would happen if you ate lava? Do volcanoes belch? What does belch mean? All this and more.

I'm pretty sure he was doing research for his 500 Reasons book in church today when I asked him to take a nap. Here's what that conversation was like:

Me: Lay down now and take a nap.

Sam: But I don't want to take a nap.

Me: It's nap time. So lay down and take a nap.

Sam: I'm not tired, so I can't sleep.

Me: Lay down, close your eyes, and sleep.

Sam: I don't have enough energy to sleep.

Me: Take a nap anyway. It is nap time.

Sam: But the lights are on and I can't sleep with the lights on.

Me: Close your eyes and sleep.

He fell asleep a few minutes later, getting in a 30-minute nap before church ended. His eyes flew open when noise woke him after the final prayer, and he quickly announced "I didn't sleep. I wasn't tired so I didn't sleep."

Sure. Sure.
