Sleeping Like A Baby !

"Mum, why's there a naked lady in the living room ?" asked Charlotte as she sleepily entered the kitchen where Carol and Derek were having breakfast. "That's no lady, that's Debbi" laughed Carol. "I know it's Debbi, I was joking. But what's she doing there and why's she naked ?" Charlotte continued. "How do you know she's naked ? We gave her blankets." Carol didn't directly answer the question. "They're thrown on the floor and she's spread out there with all her bits on show" Charlotte explained. Derek got up and made to leave the room. "And where do you think you're going ?" demanded Carol. "To get my camera before she wakes up" Derek laughed. Carol rolled her eyes.

Debbi had been relieved that all was quiet when they had arrived back at Carol's the previous evening. Charlotte had already gone to bed since she had college in the morning. The couch was not the most comfortable for sleeping on and Debbi lay awake for an hour or so, her mind replaying that evening's debacle and trying to come up with a solution to her dilemma for the morning. But when she did eventually fall asleep, she was dead to the world. It was warm and stuffy in the room and at some point in her sleep she had shrugged off the blankets, leaving her as Charlotte found her.

"We need to borrow some clothes of yours for her" Carol said, after she had finished telling Charlotte about the events of the previous night. "But I'm bigger than her, nothing'll fit" Charlotte pointed out. "What about any old clothes from when you were younger ?" suggested Carol. "Like when I was 13 ? You know I was always big for my age" her 18 year old daughter laughed. "Well, just see what you can find" Carol replied.

"Seems a pity to wake her" said Carol as she and Charlotte joined Derek in the living room, where he was happily recording the scene on his phone. "Sleeping like a baby" he observed. "Like a baby that's waiting for her nappy to be put on" laughed Charlotte, referring to the spread-eagled pose the sleeping Debbi was currently in. "Better cover her with the blanket so's not to embarrass her" decided Carol, tucking Debbi in before gently shaking her shoulder.
