  1. “Missing the launch window.” Your kid is tired, but somehow you didn’t get her down to bed at the prime “falling-asleep” time. Now you’re left with a cranky kid who is tired but can’t or won’t go to sleep. This is not to be confused with…
  2. “Scrubbed launch.” You thought the kid was tired, but attempting to put her down for a nap resulted in her getting a “second-wind” of some kind.
