Dear Governor Daniels,
It's time for my annual letter in which I request that you come explain to my children, now 3.5 and 2 years old, why they have to go to bed when it's broad daylight outside. I am writing this at 8:30 pm, and the sky is light. My kids (should) go to bed at 8 pm. They are quite annoyed, and so am I.
I can only guess how difficult things will be in late June, when it stays light until 10 or 10:30 pm.
Whenever they ask me, "Mommy, why do we have to go to bed? It's daytime!" I say, "Ask your governor." This makes their father snort, but is unfortunately an unsatisfactory response from their youthful perspective, as they do not often get the opportunity to directly address elected officials such as yourself. Therefore, please come at your earliest convenience and explain it to them for me.
