“We put you in this daycare when you were a baby,” she says, remembering. “It was supposed to be one of the best in the area but they— I remember I brought you there for the first day and they showed me the room where they had all of the kids take naps and it didn’t have any windows and there were these tiny cots lined up along the walls, like a little doll prison, and I pictured you sleeping in one and I started crying right there; I ended up taking you home. I couldn’t stand to think of you taking a nap in a place like that.”
