*our mom inexplicably gains energy as the night wears on, and has been known to vacuum the living room at like 10pm, while everyone else is lying on the couch watching tv.

**this is what my sister was threatened with as a child when she had too much energy and was driving people crazy.  THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE.
