Alyson didn't take a nap again today, but had some quiet time. About fifteen minutes before she was going to be allowed to get up, she opened her bedroom door.
Alyson: Grandma, can I get up now?
Mom: Not yet. You still have fifteen minutes. Go back in and play quietly or look at a book.
Alyson: Okay.
She went back into her room and shut the door. When fifteen minutes had passed, Mom went to get her.
Mom, knocking and opening the door: You can come out now.
Alyson, looking up from her book and holding up her hand for "five": No. I'll come out in five more minutes.
Mom: Okay.... Come out when you are ready.
