The Night-Night Game

When I was two years old, I played a game with my parents. We called it the Night-Night game. I would drag my parents into separate bedrooms. I would take my mom to my bedroom and I would take my dad to my parent’s bedroom. I would walk back to my room and cover my mom up with a doll blanket and say, “Night-Night” and turn off the light and close the door. Then I would walk to my parent’s room and cover my dad up with a doll blanket and say, “Night-Night” and turn off the light and close the door. After that I would go back to my room and knock on the door and I would say, “Knock, knock, morning!” to wake up my mom. Then I would go knock on my parent’s door and wake up my dad. I did this over and over and over again. I did not say the words correctly, but my parents could understand what I was saying. As you can imagine I had a lot of fun playing the Night-Night game.

Below is a movie that shows a different version of the Night-Night game so you can get an idea of what this game might have looked like.
