These toddlers' conversation sounds alarmingly familiar
Naps - always in deficit
It's a familiar sensation. It's a new year, your body clock is all skewed, and the first four hours of each day your eyes feel like they're on fire and making normal human conversation has become strangely impossible.
You need a nap, several, and this little girl knows exactly how you feel.
