I hurry to reply to your nice letter, since I have to get into bed soon.
My regular sleepy byes time is at 6 PM and it’s only 3:00, but dad is already in bed as a punishment. He answered back to Vanessa, who’s the 12 year old daughter of my stepmother Lady Juliane. I have to go to bed earlier too, because the rule is that I can’t have a later beddy-byes than dad.
This afternoon, I’m exceptionally allowed to stay up until 4:00 for a last snack in bed before nighty-night. I’m ready for bed now and I’m writing to you in my bedroom, that I share with dad. I am wearing only a short baby-doll nightie. Dad is lying down in his cot wearing one of his long frilly nightdresses, a pink one. He also has his dummy in his mouth. He’s upset because he’s been punished.
Before he was put into his cot, my 12 year-old. stepsister Vanessa, was allowed to spank his bottom and he had a half-hour corner time wearing only his nightgown. Now he isn’t sobbing more and is already half asleep. He’ll be confined to bed during the rest of today and more all day tomorrow Sunday. Since I didn’t misbehave, I’m quite lucky to have to go to bed only at 4:00 today and after lunch tomorrow.
I know you’re astonished that a 19 year old boy like me has still a bedtime, and such an early one. That’s since dad married Lady Juliane. She’s now the owner and manager of dad’s former company. She’s also the boss at home. We have to strictly respect her domestic rules. Dad has the same bedtime as mine.
You’re probably curious about knowing how I obey her rules. Of course, I was at first very frustrated and annoyed, but dad agreed with his new wife and approved of the change of life she imposes on both of us. Besides, before he remarried, I worried him very much. I was really a bad boy who accumulated stupid mistakes.
Being put to bed early with all my clothes under lock and key, prevents me from disobeying and from doing stupid things. And since dad has to obey the same rules, I couldn’t say I was too old to have an early bedtime. At present, I’m used to my new discipline. I have become a really obedient boy, I fall asleep easily as soon as I’m tucked into my cot.
My girlfriend Alex, was at first annoyed because I could meet her only during the weekend and until 5:00 PM at the latest, bedtime for me and dad. Now she approves of my step-mothers regime and ensures I’m back home and in bed wearing my nightclothes on time. On my 19th birthday, she gave me the pretty baby-doll nightie I wear now and she put me and dad to bed straight after our afternoon snack.
You’re maybe interested about our bedroom? It’s called, “the nursery” because both dad and I have to sleep in cots. Mine is white and his is pink. Each of us has his own doll, his own soft toy, and his own dummies. My doll is named “Heidi”. My soft toy is a little dog called “Foxy”. I sleep every night (or by day, when Lady Julianne or Miss Julia want that or when they have to punish one or both of us) with the two toys and a pacifier. The walls of our “nursery” are pink and white, with blue and yellow childish patterns. Our nanny Miss Julia brings us meals, usually in bed just before sleepy byes. We eat baby food in jars and we drink farmer milk in baby bottles. Of course, Nanny covers each of us by a bib. If one of us messes his bed clothes or his crib, he his punished… and the other too so we eat very, very carefully.
Now, Miss Julia is coming in the nursery. It’s already 3:45 PM, so I have to stop my letter and get into bed at once. I kiss you tenderly, dear Agatha. Please kiss also Aunt Vicky from my part. I see that dad sits now in his cot. He says he sends kisses also. For him, the weekend is already finished and mine is much shortened.
See you soon, I hope. Of course I can’t visit you, because of the timetable I’ve to enforce. But I could maybe be allowed to invite you to come here. I would probably have to stay in my cot while you visit, but you can sit for a while at my bedside for a chat. I will look forward to it.
