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!
