I had to laugh at the nurses faces when, after they tried numerous times to get 2 young boys to sleep, I walked into the room at 10:30pm where they were playing and told them that it was time to go to sleep.

One nurse said, "You are a real mother" and as I walked into our room the other said "She don't take no nonsense."
