Night Routines

Going to bed routines. Everyone has them (or maybe this is a sweeping generalization for the good of this post). This came to mind because I've been babysitting this kid for a couple weeks now and every time before he goes to bed he takes his pillows off in the same way. His bed is also always made, straight as a pin. He takes them off and stacks them on a chair, pulls this old raggedy, torn towel from beneath the left pillow, and places it on top of the pillow and then goes to bed. Another one of my friends always has to go to the bathroom before she goes to bed, right before. So if you stop her and talk to her or if she watches a TV show she has to go back and go again. Every time! I always need to have brushed my teeth and hair, closed all my doors, and turn all the lights off. If not, I can't sleep. It's weird the little things we tell our minds we need before we can go to bed.
