You must still be somewhat young. I remember when I was in my early 20's and I told my boyfriend that I would know I was ready to settle down and get married when I had a bed time...because I'd be too old to go out partying all night to find new people to date.
Lately, I've had a very early bedtime. I can't keep myself awake past 9 PM most nights, 11 PM at the very latest. My young students are sapping the energy out of me!
Edit: And if it wasn't so close to my bedtime, I'd have noticed there were two more pages of this thread before bothering to reply to something at the beginning of the first page.

I know! As a kid I always planned that my night job when I grew up would be writing deep and meaningful essays and posting it online like Valentine and Peter did, receiving fame and influence. And then blogs became commonplace. It's a good thing the world isn't that easily manipulated.

I remember as a child, having my mother use that argument on me, when I was balking at eating something.
I simply suggested that she wrap it up and send it to them.
