"Now you must have your breakfast," said mamma.

The seat of a chair was made a breakfast table, the baby's feigned bib put on, and her porridge carefully administered, with all the manner of the nurse who usually directs their breakfast.

"Now" (after the meal, which suddenly became dinner instead of breakfast), "you must take your nap," said mamma.
"No, mamma; I don't want to," said baby.

"But you must."-- "No; you be baby, and take the nap."-- "But all the other children have gone to sleep, dearest, _and the doctor says you must_," said mamma.

This convinced baby, and she lay down on the floor.
