The Hour of Darkness.

That’s the title of Chapter 6 in my “How to Confuse Mom & Dad” manual that was issued to me shortly after my umbilical cord was snipped.

The chapter basically states that within the first 8 weeks (or 86,400 minutes) of oxygen-breathing life, I should have established a random hour during the day for which to be an absolute nudnik.

The manual doesn’t give any reason as to why I should have an Hour of Darkness, I presume it’s merely to break the monotony of my house arrest.

Whatever the reason, I have selected the time between 5pm and 6pm to just go ballistic for no reason. That way, I’m nice and calm by the time Dad gets home.

Why is this important? The answer lies in Chapter 11, entitled: “When it Comes to Playing Favorites, Ask Yourself This: Which Parent is More Likely to Buy You A Dune Buggy?”

  1. Maya had the very same hour of darkness. It started at around 5 weeks and ended shortly after 8. Hope you’re seeing the light soon. I would give you soothing tips but its an hour no matter how you slice it. Might as well soothe yourself. πŸ™‚
