The Bedtime Meme

In the great green room, there is a telephone and a red balloon, and a picture of
The cow jumping over the moon,
And there were three little bears sitting on chairs,
And two little kittens and a pair of mittens,
And a little toyhouse and a toy mouse,
And a comb and a brush and bowl full of mush,
And a quiet old lady who was whispering "hush".

WHAT TO DO:

1. Post with your character--name, fandom and any particular preferences go in the subject line as usual.

2. You can either roll or pick a scenario (or scenarios!) from the list or leave your comment blank.

3. Reply to people!

4. Have fun and be mindful of your partner's preferences--while this is not inherently a smut meme, it could definitely turn that way.

OPTIONS:

1. Washing up for Bed: You and your partner have had a long day, and now it's time to wash it all off. Don't forget to scrub behind your ears!

2. Bedtime Story: Some people just can't get to sleep without some sort of story. It can be a familiar book, or even a story of your partner's life.

3. Warm Milk and Cookies (or Chamomile Tea): A warm drink and a few cookies in the belly are just what some people need to relax before bed.

4. Pajamas: What (if anything) you wear to bed says a lot about your personality. Dressed to impress or totally relaxed?

5. Lullaby: Philomel with melody or rock-a-bye baby? Either way, you're looking to lull your partner into a restful sleep with the sound of your voice.

6. Goodnight Kiss: Nothing says 'sweet dreams' like a chaste (...or not so chaste...) kiss at bedtime.

7. Comfort Object: Whether it's a nightlight, a teddy bear or an old blankie, bedtime's not happening unless the comfort object is in the room.

8. Cuddles Forever: The ultimate in fluffy warm coziness before falling asleep.

9. Reluctant Sleeper: Your blankets are itchy. The room's too hot. You want another story. Whatever the reason, you're not ready to settle in and go to bed.

10. Wildcard!: I know I forgot something, so here's your wildcard for whatever else you can fit into this meme, and any mix-and-matching you want to do
