Nap Time


Dear Laney,

Before too long, you're going to be in preschool, where they have an enforced rest period they call "nap time." If you are anything like your mother, you will loathe nap time. You will hate being told what to do in general, but there is something specific about nap time that will feel like The Man is literally keeping you down.

But trust me on this: One day, you will be in your thirties with a husband and child of your own and you will stand in the kitchen thinking to yourself, "Self, I would pay a hundred dollars to be able to take a nap."

There's an important life lesson in there somewhere, but I'm too tired to find it.

Love,
Mom
