As part of our going-to-bed routine, the TV likes to have a sip of water, hydration being important and whatnot. I’ve come up with a terrific acronym (ARISTOTLE) which I’m incredibly pleased with and where she is determined not to learn the words that it stands for:
After Routinely Imbibing Solvent, Turn Off The Lights, Eh?
Every night:
Me: Aristotle?
TV: Yes. I know what it means, but I don’t know what it stands for. Don’t say i…
Me: After routine-
TV: I’m not listening! I don’t know what this stands for
Me: -ly imbibing
TV: I’m ignoring you
TV has drink of water, meaning she can’t speak
Me: solvent, turn off the lights, eh?
TV: sigh
