    I’m sure that’s the start of a classic magic trick.
    The next step is to pull away one of the stools.

    No, this is what happens when you watch the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day!

    This is oddly terrifying.

    Give her a pillow and set the alarm on the clock; she’ll be up just in time for school next Monday!

    What’s funny is that she has a blanket over her and an alarm clock on the table, as though they figure they’ll just let her sleep there all night.

    Before I scrolled down, it looked she was levitating. Now THAT would have been a cool picture. :-)

    Actually, its not the tryptophan that makes you sleepy. Its the fact that when you eat a lot, more blood has to rush to your stomach to help digest all that food. Thus taking blood from other areas of the body, and making you sleepy

    Ths picture is actually what happened when her family had too many relatives staying over for the holiday. The poor little thing had to give up her bed for Great Aunt Mildred and her 2 miniature poodles.

    I totally did this as a child! My grandmother had a tiny kitchen and dining room that were away from the living room/bedrooms. She also cooked A LOT. Whenever she needed a break, she’d put two chairs together and lie down on them. I started doing the same. :D

    She was tired of sleeping in a crib and wanted to prove that she could handle a big girls bed.

    I don’t understand why this photo is considered an “awkward” family photo. This one is cute. It doesn’t make sense that it’s on here.
