The first night of self-directed bedtime.

At 8:58PM Younger Boy realized he needed to go to bed soon.

Shoot...he hadn't showered.

What's a guy to do?

I told him to think through it as his most adult self and make a decision truly not knowing what he would decided.

Lucky for us personal hygiene prevailed (and delayed bedtime).

I have to give him credit.  Not bad for the first attempt.
