Can't we just have peaceful grandparent-grandchild relations?

Today's strip made me a little happy, because this one illustrates a grandparents who doesn't mind spending time with a grandchild. Look how happy everyone is!

Of course, why Mom and Dad let Loopina spend the night at Grandma's is beyond me. Crying and whining like that should not lead to the child getting her way. Of course, the parents are probably just happy to get her out of the house for the night. This leads to the second panel, and the question Why in the world would they indulge her and pick her up at 2:25 a.m.? Loopie will just cry for a while if she doesn't get her way, then fall asleep. And why the heck is she up at 2:25 to begin with?

At least Mom and Dad have one bed. I was almost expecting side-by-side twin beds, with the nightstand in the middle.

I also wanted to let you know that I'll be out of town until Monday night; I'm heading to Florida, where it's presumably a bit warmer than 30 degrees. With less snow than we have here. And more Orioles! Woo! Right, so no updates until Tuesday.
