"Kako jim uspeva? Le kako?" sva se spraševala s Karmen, ko nama je kateri od prijateljev zatrdil, da njegov malček zaspi že ob pol osmi uri, Maks Kolja pa je veselo razgrajal preko devete in celo desete. Zjutraj bi pa potegnil, ko sva letela vsak na svoj konec služit prepotrebne denarce. In so bile borbe - jaz nisem bil dober za zbujanje, Karmen pa ne, ko je bilo treba iz vrtca domov.

Pa sva malo spremenila taktiko. Večerja je po novem ob šestih, na risanko pač ne moreš vplivati, pa potem umivanje zob, počasi ugašamo luči in malček je v postelji najkasneje ob osmi uri. Sicer pa je tisti čas vmes popolnoma njegov. Malo se poigramo, preberemo pravljico ali dve in spijemo obvezen kozarec vode pred spanjem.

Četrt čez osmo lahko s Karmen celo kakšno rečeva ali pogledava kakšen film. Prišla sva do tistih svojih dveh uric, ko se lahko umiriš. Neprimerljivo! Počasi bova le spoznala, sva vseeno glavna midva, Maks pa le z veliko žlico zajame tisto, kar mu ponudiš.

It's incredible, how sweet evening time can be.

Until two weeks ago, I was completely exhausted in the evening - sure, Maks was up until 9 or 10 p.m., job is starting early in the morning, so there was no time for rest. Well, not completely true, but it's very nice to have some time to calm down before going to sleep. And Maks wasn't helping us with this.

But now we started the whole procedure of going to sleep to begin at 6 with the dinner, so Maks is in bed at 8. And we have two hours for ourselves. It's great! And it's much easier to wake up in the morning. It's so true, that mistakes are the best school - finally we found out that it's not Maks, the one who's running our lives, but it's Karmen and I, that are running his life.
