Bedtime Questions

A typical night at our house goes like this...

Mumma: "Good night Maddy, love utz."
Dada: "Good night Maddy."
Door shuts.

15-minutes later...

Maddy: "Mumma, Mumma, MUMMMMMMAAAAAA"
Door opens.
Mumma: "Yes, Maddy... what's the matter?"
Maddy: "Is it dark out?"
Mumma: "Yes, Maddy. Go to bed now."
Maddy: "Can I see- dark out?"
Mumma: "See" pointing out the window that Maddy is sitting next to.
Maddy: "Oooooo.... dark out."
Mumma: "Ok, now it is bedtime. Close your eyes."
Door shuts.

5 to 15-minutes later...
Repeat.

Do this 10-times until she falls asleep.

...Maybe I'll answer "no, it is not dark out" tonight. That might through her off enough to just fall asleep.
