“Mama,you have to rock Chilly to sleep. No, hold him closer. Higher. No, you have to make a bed for Chilly. No, on the floor. With THIS blanket. Put his head up here. Like this (points) Here!”

“Hey Ella, you know what he wants. Why don’t you do it?”

“NO! You have to do it. With his head up here, wrap him in his bed! Make the blanket flat! No smaller! Over here!! Around his head, smaller. On his nose. Over there! Noooo!”

“Why don’t you . . .”

“Noooo, YOU do it!!!!!”
