Sleepy time bear


To explain that last comment, "sleepy time bear" is family-speak for tiredness and time to go to bed. It refers to the Celestial Seasonings tea called "Sleepytime" that is largely chamomile based, but has a very sleepy bear in his nightgown and cap barely awake on the cover. So instead of saying bedtime or sleepy or various other things, we would say, sleepy time bear. I still say it, because I'm really still a kid. I believe my siblings have moved on, but they still understand me when I say it.
