midnight
— His name was Benjamin and he was 9 years old. Tomorrow would be his birthday.
His mother then asked:
- Son, what would you like as a birthday present?
- Today I want to sleep after midnight, my mother — replied Benjamin
- I can’t say “no” to you, my son. So I’ll say “yes”, on one condition: tell me why to go to bed late as a gift.
So Benjamin explained it…
- As a gift, Mom, I want to sleep knowing my new age, so that she wakes up with me and I don’t wake up with her anymore.
