NOT TIRED causes many children to bicker their little hearts out until someone forbids them from speaking, in which case, they then fall into a decidedly NOT TIRED stance such as:
Of course, NOT TIRED related bickering lasts long enough that the alternative NOT TIRED stance is not reached until the children are a mere 15 minutes from home. And then NOT TIRED causes children- blurry-eyed and falling asleep into their dinner plates- to declare with an admirable earnestness that they are indeed NOT TIRED.

Oh yes, this is familiar. My mom loves to tell stories about how my sister and I would come home from slumber parties, announce defiantly that we were NOT TIRED, and then fall asleep with our faces in our lunches.
Not tired, indeed. Hilarious.
Nope, definitely not tired. :)
Jess- now that you say it, I remember experience NOT TIRED as a kid too!
