The Ritual

Ben and I have a ritual that comes with bedtime. He says “Diaper, Clothes, Pills, and Light Off,” and I put him to bed. Today he said “Diaper, Soda, Pills and Light Off” instead. I just won’t give him soda and pills at the same time. I gave him a choice between the two in both orders, and he answered soda both times. That’s communicative intent, so he got a soda and will be awake for a while yet.
