My wife went to work quite early this morning, and around 7am my kid, 3.5 years old, got up, went to the toilet, and came into bed with me. At that point, usually he is not going to sleep anymore. However, he will insist on laying in bed, wildly squiggling around at random intervals while trying to find a comfortable position, which he will not be able to find until the adult next to him is full of bruises. The bed is 1.80m wide, biggest one IKEA had, yet he has to lay as close to the adult as he can get. It’s cosy as hell and I do enjoy this, but the squiggling involves getting accidental kicks and punches a lot, which gets old pretty quick.

Here’s what i did this morning. I started talking to him quietly, and slowly. I asked him about nice things, what kind of nice things he liked. He happened to mention grandma and grandpa, and his two aunts, who are 8 and 10 years old. I explained that he could use something we call imagination to sorta, see them. I was still using my soft, and slightly slow voice. I explained that if you close your eyes, and think about them hard enough, it’s almost like seeing them. I encouraged him to try this, and started asking questions about what he saw, asked for details, and asked him how he felt about this. The next thing I know we both woke up and it was 9am. I am going to try again on the next opportunity.

Update:
The next opportunity was the day after, yesterday, a sunday. It worked again! This time actually, i woke up and he was still sleeping. I was the one getting impatient, rolling around, and he woke up from my activity. I felt that we had slept quite long, i figured 9.30 or something. When I checked the time I was baffled: It was quarter to eleven. Great success!

So I jammed a little with my kid today. If you don’t like his vocals, well, he’s three. My excuse for playing crappy bass? Hmm, I can’t say I have one. Anyway, here it is, recorded live at the WhoohooStudios today, this is take 1.

I decided to hop on the faith healing bandwagon, however I am not going to lie to anyone like the other quacks are doing. I found a way to do it that does not require any vague, spiritual, or pseudo-scientific claims. Everything about my product is clear and backed up with real science, and all aspects can and have been tested using proper scientific methods.

Coming soon: Scientific healing stones, homeopathic miracle water.

I’ve reported earlier about the Merseyside Skeptics society and their 10:23 campaign, where they would overdose on the homeopathic poison sold by Boots Allience. And like any other group taking a collective overdose of poison the result was as expected: Nothing happened. Of course not, homeopathy is just water!

You might remember these guys from my podcast, back in the day. When I was thinking about what to do this tunesday, I suddenly got an invitation to their facebook page. I instantly decided to make them the Tunesday item for this week.
