On the one hand, "I will lie down for a nap", in the children's bedtime prayer, it is "Now I lay me down to sleep"; it may just be one of those across the ocean differences. English-lay; American-lie, or maybe lay is old English and lie is modern English. I don't think anyone really knows and if the story makes sense who cares?

(Let's not get into there, their and they're).<br />I love Diane's stories and skim over the very occasional typo and just keep laughing. Or crying, depending on what she has written.
