Above And Beyond

Kids are known to get out bed at nighttime for various reasons.  Such as, a drink of water, to go potty, or they are just plain 'ol not sleepy.  But Mae is not like most kids.  She likes to take things to a whole other level.  Mae comes out for thinking too much.  Her mind gets whirring at night when she lays down, and she'll come out to ask questions or to voice a concern.  All of which border on the ridiculous and are not really important, especially when the light of day hits.

The other night was no exception.  True to Mae-form, she came to the family room where Ryan and I were detoxing from the day, only this time she caught me off guard with her question/concern.  This is what she said

I think my tongue is too big for my mouth.

Are you kidding me??!?!  I tried (without success) to not laugh.  Apparently she had bitten the side of her tongue and it was bothering her.  It amazes me how her mind works, and comes to conclusions that, again, border on the ridiculous.

Is there a contest for the most ludicrous nighttime excuse?  If so, I think I can win it.
