ON ALTERNATIVE USES FOR ASTERISKS (COPYRIGHTED EDITION).

We have an inviolable rule in our house. Bedtimes are absolute, and exceptions will only be made on weekends*. The only, and I mean the only** exception, might be immediately before bedtime if someone cracks open a four-pack of Virgil's root beer, starts cranking Muse, and a dance party breaks out amidst coloured LED-flashing club lights in our living room. When that happens, we might*** extend bedtime briefly****, as it may or may not have tonight*****, but then it is straight to bed, where they will sleep soundly, vividly, and dream of androids dreaming of electric sheep.******
