I haven’t taken an afternoon nap since I was a little kid.”
Mrs Feilds smiled and told him firmly, “Theodore, I don’t think you’ve realized what a terrible emotional shock you’ve just experienced.
I know you’re not used to taking an afternoon nap, but I think you need some rest.
I’d like you to change into your PJs, then lie down and rest.
You don’t have to sleep if you don’t want to, but I’d like you to at least lie-down.
As soon as I put Jay-Jay in his crib, I’m going to take a nap too.
Here, let me close the curtains for you.”
Theodore agreed reluctantly and Mrs Feilds went to put Jay-Jay down for his nap while Theodore changed into his PJs.
