Can you believe that Australia’s Funniest Home Videos REJECTED this? Well WE think it’s funny. This was 22 month old Keira at 6pm on a day she hadn’t napped. The Simpsons were coming on, hence us whispering that as an incentive to stay awake but, nup, she was gone.

Excuse our sniggering at the end – but you’ve got to admit it was kind of funny.

Now Keira only falls asleep like that if Adam starts to go on about his naffy water cooling system in his computer. Or if I go on about how D. H. Lawrence really was rather a subconscious gynophobic, despite all his protestations and textual experiments to show otherwise.

And if she does fall asleep through all that? Well, you can’t blame her 😉
