On-screen text
As we all know, Milo has a strict bedtime of 11 pm
Well I was in bed on time today...
But I decided to go back downstairs once Milo was sleeping to see if he would care
And within a minute he got up
And immediately came downstairs to see what the heck I was doing
He then sat and stared at me like this for several minutes
Uh oh
i'm in trouble
he was so displeased
Then he came and did this
So I stood up and he walked me to the stairs
He stayed down there for a bit to make sure I wasn't coming back down
And made sure I went into the bedroom
He was so annoyed that he slept at the edge of the bed
He's not demanding or anything
