One More Story

A bedtime promise legally binding until sunrise.

Full Definition:

A verbal contract in which 'one' becomes an undefined number approaching infinity. Legal scholars note that 'one more story' shares structural similarities with Ponzi schemes and shell games. Once invoked, parents are trapped in a narrative loop until they either fall asleep or fake a medical emergency.

Sample Usage:

"I agreed to one more story. That was 45 minutes ago."
