Dangit, I thought I was going to have a fun little family, parent-child interaction in this scene, but I just started writing it and realized: This is supposed to be after 11:00 pm. There's no way the going-on-6-years-old girl would still be awake. Rats.

Still, verisimilitude beats "rule of cool" or "but I wanna do something fun!". This character is a *good* parent, not one who lets their kids stay up way too late on a school night!
