Sweet Pea, get back into bed.

Why did you come to put me back in bed instead of mom?

Because I think you’re adorable and I love you very much.

Can I have mom?

No. Sleep tight, Sweet Pea.

15 minutes later…

Sweet Pea, bedtime. Get back in bed.

(back in bed, lightly touching dad’s cheek with her hand, presumably to soften the blow) Um, dad? I know you think I’m cute? And that you love me? But can mom come next time?
