Overheard on the kiddie monitor this evening...

...a conversation between Kostas and Zoe.

It was about 15 minutes after lights out and Zoe had just called loudly for "Baba!!!"

Kostas: What's wrong, Zoe?

Zoe: I want milk

Kostas: No milk.

Zoe: *whining* I want it. I waaaant it!

You have water, sweetie. No milk at night; you already brushed your teeth. You can have milk in the morning.

Zoe: *whining louder* But I need it. I neeeeeeeed it. I want miiiiillllk.

Kostas: Well, I want a Porsche. (His usual comeback).

- pause -

Zoe: *considering* What kind of Porsche? A big Porsche?

Kostas: Exactly a big Porsche.

Eleni: *chiming in* A big ORANGE Porsche.

Zoe: A big orange Porsche.

Kostas: OK, goodnight.

Zoe: Blankie Sandwich!

*silence while Kostas presumably gives Zoe a blankie sandwich, aka putting "Blankie" on one side of her face and "Chocolate Blankie" on the other and rubbing gently.

Kostas: *quietly* Kali Nichte. I love you.

*silence as the door closes quietly*
