I grew up with two older brothers who got to stay up much later than me. I remember waking up and finding out that my parents had gone to McDonald's after I had fallen asleep one night and being so upset about being left out. It is a memory I still have today. I asked my dad about it once after I had been married and living in my own house for many years and he chuckled. Then he told me it was a weekly thing they did. That my mom and him would go get McDonald's as a treat for themselves. They would wait until all the kids went to bed because they couldn't afford to buy for all of us and it was their special date treat. As an adult I can relate to this and I find it so sweet. However, as a kid I was so jealous!

In Duck On A Disco Ball by Jeff Mack, a little boy is sent to bed but he is left wondering just what his parents do while he is sleeping. Do they party? He stays up and tries to find out just what goes on. His imagination goes wild as he tries to figure it out and in the morning he isn't sure what was a dream or what he really saw.
This books was a whole lot of fun. I think kids and parents can relate to the characters. It is the perfect bedtime story!
