After chatting for a bit, the child started getting sleepy since she would always go to bed on time. When I heard her yawning, I urged, “Summer, it’s getting late. Let’s talk tomorrow, alright?”

She nodded in agreement and spoke softly, “Mommy, I’ll sleep now and call you tomorrow. You should go home earlier, and don’t stay up too late. It’s not good for your health.”
