Bat-Bedtime

Me: Alright, bath’s over.  Time to get ready for bed.

Scout: I am a bat!

Me: Um.  What?

Scout: See?  Bat! (Holding towel like bat wings)  And I am the Big Bat.  I am in charge.  There was an old Big Bat, but he died, and left me the Biggest Bat, so I’m in charge now.  If you become a bat, you can be in charge, but I am in charge now.

Me: I don’t need to be a bat, I just need you to go to bed.

Scout: But bats stay awake at night, and sleep during the day.  So I… am… outahere! (flys away)

Me: You’re going to make me become a bat, aren’t you?

Scout: (from the other room) Yes!
