Delaying Tactics

Day two in the DD house and Daddy is sitting on the stairs listening to his two Darling Daughters rearranging the furniture in their bedroom when they should be asleep. He's decided that even patient, calm intervention is to be avoided at this point as it evokes alternately 1) repeated demands for drinks of water (delaying tactic 1) or insistence on a trip to the toilet (delaying tactic 2 and, it's hard to avoid supposing, a direct consequence of delaying tactic 1).
Instead he is relying on the ancient knowledge and waiting for the equilibrium to right itself with the deepest sleep ever seen.

Tune in next time to find out about the trip to the shoe shop...
