9.8.20 - Kid snippets: Clara won't go to sleep

Every night Clara finds one or multiple excuses to come out of her room after bedtime. Usually she will shyly open the door a crack and softly call my name until I notice she is standing there. Just now:

Clara (softly): Mom?
Me: What?
Clara: We forgot something.
Me: What?
Clara: We forgot that the night is so long until morning.
Me: Well it would go a lot faster if you went to sleep.
Clara: But it's so long!
Me: I don't care. Go to bed.
(Overlapping)
Clara: But it's so long! / Me: Go get in bed!
(Clara continuing to talk as she slowly shuts the door)
Clara: It's so looooooong!
(Clara fades into the darkness of the nursery.)

And scene.
