	Simon had a rough day recently, possibly a combination of insufficient sleep and dubious nutrition. Whatever it was, he needed some help settling down at bed time. So I sat with him and we talked. My strategy was to distract him from his circumstantial discontent by getting him to contemplate hypothetical questions. What kind of dinosaur would he want as a pet? Is there a kind of Bending he would be good at? He slowly warmed up, but then I stubbed into a surly bit of hilarity.
