the clock shows 2:47 and he can't sleep











he walks
to the refrigerator
drinks ruby grapefruit juice
and munches on oreo cookies

then cleans up
like a fourteen year old
with a guilty little secret

    I love this. Oreos sound good, and I understand the grapefruit juice . . . if it's the only thing handy. LOL.

    Don't tell anyone, but I've done something similar before . . . and my son gets food in the middle of the night just about every night. He burns through the carbs very fast!

    Great write.
