Dear Fellow Expat:

Hello, again from Maryland.

My daughter had an academic appointment this morning, and my wife and I had three hours to ourselves.

After 30 minutes in a coffee shop, my wife yawned and said she was ready for a nap. I suggested that we head to my parents’ house so that I could pick up a delivery.

“That’ll be great,” she said. “You can take a nap for 30 minutes, and when you wake up, I’ll take a nap for 30 minutes.”

“Oh no, no!” I boasted, wagging my finger at her. “I propose, my love, that we take naps… concurrently.”

And we did.
