i guess if I think on it I was always a night owl and hated the morning alarm. Unfortunately most of my work years which were most of my life had so many early mornings.

We could play neighborhood "Hide and Seek" until 9:00 p.m. and then Mom would call us in and she had a voice one could hear a block away.

My paternal grandmother would tell my dad, "I got the wrong baby at the hospital." Dad was a wild one, too.
I remember trying to sneak once in a while when my parents were sleeping. I would quit because I felt like everything I was doing was 100 decibels louder than what it should have been.

Well when we were kids it was 7pm bed-time .It was not too bad in Winter but annoying to watch kids playing in the summer. 🌹

I guess I must have been a mixed-up kid, too, because I enjoyed those same activities, and I was a night owl. Maybe you were born in the evening, and that is why you were more active at night. 🌙 I still gaze at the stars and anything else I can see in the sky through my telescope.Â

If this is your natural pattern, the night activities, then you were not mixed up. Your circadian rhythm was simply different from your father's. No right/wrong, just different. Peace.
