Teddy: Mom?
Christine: Yeah, honey?
Teddy: Why is it so cold out?
Christine: ‘Coz it’s winter.
Teddy: Why is it winter?
Christine: ‘Coz that’s just what time of year it is.
Teddy: Don’t bears go to sleep in the winter?
Christine: Yes they do.
Teddy: Why don’t we go to sleep in the winter?
Christine: Because we don’t need to.
Teddy: Do bears need to?
Christine: Yes.
Teddy: Do you need to?
Christine: Only at night.
Teddy: Why do you have to sleep at night?
Christine: Same reason you do.
Teddy: But sometimes I don’t sleep at night.
Christine: I’m painfully aware of that.
Teddy: Does it hurt?
Christine: Not really.
Teddy: Then why do you keep telling me to go to sleep?
Christine: Because you need sleep.
Teddy: Is that why you called me Teddy?
Christine: (regards him) Yes.
