Midnight?

I'm starting to see little things in the kids that make us so similar - habits, mannerisms, and apparently the kids are inheriting my dry skin! So every night I try to remember to slather their hands with some lotion so they won't get too rough. Last night I coated Zack's hands and he complained that I used too much. I assured him "don't worry, the extra will soak right in when you are asleep". Zack, the kid of many questions, wondered when it would happen. "oh late at night, around midnight" I said. I kissed him and left his room. About 10 minutes later I hear him calling for me. He asked "is it midnight yet?? My hands are dry."
