In the Lap

This afternoon, Daniel sat down to rest and read for a while. I would have wanted to lie down in his lap to rest, while he sat down. Totte was there before me, however, occupying the lap. Totte listens to me on important things, such as when I want to keep food that he would be interested in. When he occupies the lap of Daniel, however, I let him have the lap. It is nice to lie in the lap, but it is not so important that I feel like I would chase Totte away. Totte could stay in the lap this time. I allow such things.
