When Laurent got into the car, her daughter was very happy. But being a little kid, after playing all morning, she soon dozed off with her little head leaning to the side.
Laurent took off her jacket and gently draped it over her daughter to keep her from catching a cold while sleeping.
"Could you please keep a thin blanket in the car from now on? Kids fall asleep easily in cars."
She hadn't planned on speaking to Dave, but for her daughter's sake, she finally spoke up.
There was nothing in the car except for her daughter's child seat. If the girl often rode in his car, she could catch a cold from not being covered while asleep.
Before, she always kept a thin blanket in her car, just in case.
Dave, feeling guilty about the criticism, knew he had no experience taking care of a child, and he hadn't considered these small details. For him, just remembering to bring a bottle of water for his daughter was already being thoughtful enough.
