Time of day: 6:00 a.m.
Sally meant to take a short sleep, but it ended up being much longer. She sprang out of bed, grabbing the clock from next to her pillow. Upon realizing it was already half past ten at night, she was overcome with guilt. So why wasn’t Tom weeping? He must be ravenous. Grumbling, Sally felt the embarrassment of having failed at such a fundamental aspect of parenthood that she felt she should have mastered by now. Though she was still tired, she got out of bed to make sure her son was okay.
