It came to me in my sleep: the reason this is good is that it's a production balance.
I had gone to sleep wondering what a production inbalance might actually look like. I finally got it, and woke up screaming. It took the kids two glasses of milk and about 45 minutes of lullabies to finally coax me back to sleep. The kept asking me what my nightmare was, but I just couldn't bear to tell them. I just softly sobbed myself to sleep to the sound of their voices.
Trust me, Gloopy, this is a great LOA.
