Kiddo

What's up, kiddo?

Kiddo! Two medium-size drafts here.

Oh kiddo, I'm sorry for overlooking your message. So what's wrong with that part?

Hiya, kiddo!

It's good practice to switch off the TV when you're finished, kiddo.

Say goodnight and head to bed, kiddo.

Stay safe, kiddo. Don't engage in conversations with strangers.

Time to clean those pearly whites, kiddo!

You need to get enough sleep, kiddo.

Bedtime is non-negotiable, kiddo. Time to put your head on the pillow.

Okay, kiddo, I gotta run.

“Hey, Rick.” “Oh, hey, kiddo. How's your Saturday?” “You know, super chill. W-W-Whatcha doin'?” “Eh, nothing adventurous. You know that race of Underground Dwelling Cannibal Horse People that we're always fighting?” “Yeah, the CHUDs. W-W-What about 'em? “Well, don't tell anybody, but I'm working on a bioweapon to use against them, so I got this barrel of horse semen from your mom's hospital and I'm just gonna, you know, subject it to some otherworldly forces.”

The books say it's normal. Toddlers often stop napping around this age, and the average amount of sleep needed by a two-year-old is between nine and thirteen hours. My kiddo cuts logs for twelve hours at a stretch, so she's plenty rested.
