The Scene: Naptime. Mama's Big, Soft Bed.
After two books, half an hour, and several songs:
Mama: "Dash, it's time to sleep."
Dash: "No, Mama, it's time to count. 1,2,3,4,3,4!"
After some counting lessons, a "little Mama" story, another half an hour, and several more songs:
Mama: "Dash, if you don't sleep, you can't go with me to pick up Petunia from school. You must sleep now. Close your eyes."
A helicopter conveniently flies overhead.
Dash: "Mama, it's too loud for sleeping. Copter, shhhh!"
After another copter and at least three planes, a last half hour, several more songs, and a lot of humming:
Mama: "Dash, why, oh why, won't you sleep?"
Dash: "I'm tired of sleeping, and I'm tired of school."
