Jeffery's Compromise

For the last week or so, Jeffery has been sneaking into the girls room to sleep. For the longest we tried and tried to make him sleep in his own bed. The girls kept letting him come in when we didn't catch him leaving his room, so we decided to make the girls suffer a little. At first the girls would complain because when they got tired and really wanted to go to sleep, Jeffery would still be awake and want to play. Jeffery wore his welcome out. After a while I would go into their room and get the sleeping boy and and put him in his bed. That way when the girls would wake up for school in the morning they wouldn't wake him up.
Well, tonight after 9 PM we noticed that all was quiet and no stirring was found. So I went into his room to see if he had gotten in his bed - because he's done that before, too. He was not there. I went down the hall to the girl's room and looked in their bed where he usually is located. No, he wasn't there either. So I was about to shut the door and I saw a pillow and blanket in the floor and Jeffery's little head peaking out. So I went closer to see if he was asleep and he wasn't. he had is eyes open watching me. I snickered a little and told him that he needs to go to his bed to sleep and of course he answered with a whispering "No".
