Eyes pushed shut by ankle bones

One afternoon I was desperately trying to stop our four-year-old daughter, Fionn, from falling asleep as I knew that it would mean a late bedtime.

"Im not sleeping, Mummy," she replied from the couch. "I

think the bones in my ankles are too long and theyre pushing my eyes shut."
