Something about true words spoken in jest

Zach has transitioned from enjoying stories being read to him at night to preferring somewhat more serious books – science encyclopaedias, nature books, space facts, etc. It falls to me to read these, as Sarah refuses.

The conversation about bedtime duties tonight went something like this:

Sarah: “Who’s putting you to bed?”

Zach: “You.”

Sarah: “OK. (to me) We’re going to have stories. I’m not going to read any bloody science books.”

(a couple of minutes pass)

Zach: “Actually, Daddy is taking me to bed. I’m going to have a bloody science book.”
