Dearest friends on the internet,
Today I’d like to discuss naps. You see, humans believe they decide to take naps.
They do not.
Naps are dispatched from Heaven when we determine that a person has become overtired, unreasonable, or dangerously committed to “getting just one more thing done.”
First, we warm one corner of the sofa with a sunbeam. Then we position an animal nearby. The animal sighs. Your eyelids become heavy. You say, “I’m only going to sit down for a minute.” This is the final stage.
Within moments, you are asleep beneath a blanket while the vile beast occupies 87 percent of the available space.
The work can wait. The laundry has survived this long. The world will continue without your supervision for one hour…or maybe four.
I know this because I have been supervising it for you.
Honestly, it is exhausting.
Very truly yours,
Bob
Heavenly Director of Rest
