Unanswerable Nighttime Questions

How does Baby Boy skip nap, be exhausted and crying by eight BUT still be awake and chatty until MIDNIGHT?

How does Baby Girl know the exact moment when my brain turns off and I slide into sleep, so she can scream like a wild banshee? 

Are there tame banshees?

How does my husband honestly sleep through the noise of all kinds of banshees?

How does Baby Boy know the exact moment his sister falls asleep, so that he can promptly pee through his pajamas?

What is worse...trying to find and attach clean pajamas to a mostly asleep whiny toddler?  Or having bare toddler skin stick to you all night?

How can Baby Boy show zero interest in any children's tv show during the day when I attempt any household chore without him...yet cry for me to turn the tv back on after Blacklist is over at eleven o'clock at night?

Why does Baby Girl insist on continuously spitting out her pacifier, placing it under her person, and then screaming like some kind of banshee?

What exactly is a banshee?

Will I ever sleep again?

Mysteries.  All of them.
