It’s probably because I’m cruel.
--Deb at 04:07 PM--
When I see headlines like 80 percent of teens don’t get enough sleep, the former teenager in me feels sorry for them, and the social scientist in me thinks that it’s a structural problem, that we have our teenagers overbooked and up too early, and the exhausted parent in me laughs and laughs and wants to shout from the rooftops, “Get used to it! You will never, never in your life have enough sleep. Ever. If it’s not your kids, it’s your job, and if its not your job, you’re having fun. This is the rest of your life, you poor bastards!”
Ahem.
