Donkey Time: A Sneak Peek Of Week One
A weird little bedtime ritual for weird little kids and the people who love them.
Bedtime is coming.
You're probably already counting down to it.
And your kid? They're spinning in circles, asking questions you're too tired to answer, and requesting a snack they just finished eating.
You love them. More than anything. But right now, what you really want is one small moment that feels less like a meltdown and more like a memory.
That's what this is.
What You'll Get Tonight
You're not signing up for a product. You're getting one night - tonight - to read something weird and wonderful with your kid.
Here's what's inside:
- One illustrated poem that's short, funny, and a little bit unhinged
- Three connection prompts: one for little kids, one for middles, one for bigs
- A read-aloud audio link (in case you're too tired to read it yourself)
That's it. No apps. No prep. No overwhelm. Just open the email, pick a prompt, and share a weird little moment that might just become a favorite.
"But bedtime is already a mess."
Perfect.
This isn't here to fix your bedtime. It's here to meet you in it.
Whether your kid is bouncing off the walls, hiding in a laundry basket, or suddenly needing to discuss quantum physics at 8:42pm - you can still do this.
You don't need the right words. You don't need a calm tone. You just need to open the email and read a poem about a detective owl who may or may not have pooped in a police station.
Yes. Really.
It's not about the poem.
It's about the pause. The laugh. The feeling your kid gets when they know - this moment is just for them.
This is not some sugar-sweet, whispery-lullaby thing. This is weird on purpose. Silly on purpose. Short on purpose. So you can stop spinning your wheels and start connecting with the kid you've actually got.
And the best part? They'll ask for it again.
Why now?
Because your kid is going to bed tonight. And the night after that. And the night after that.
And whether you read them a poem or scroll your phone while they brush their teeth… that moment still passes.
So why not try it?
One poem. One prompt. One real little moment - tonight.
Want to try it?
Pop in your email. I'll send you tonight's Donkey Time - a poem, a prompt for each age group, and a recording in case you're on empty.
No pressure. No guilt. Just one weird, wonderful bedtime.
