Let's sleep on that

An out of the mouths of babes moment...

I questioned AJ about his day at school yesterday. By his lack of volunteering information, I could tell he was tired, so I asked, "Did you rest your brain today?" (His teacher's code term for taking a nap.)

"Yes," he answered, clearly no longer fooled by the terminology, because he followed up with a question for me. "Did you get to take a nap while you were at work?"

"No," I said. "We don't get to take naps at work."

"Why not?

"It'd be nice sometimes if we could, but the work wouldn't get done if we were napping."

AJ had an alternate theory. "Or maybe your boss is afraid the stuff in your pockets would get squished."
