We were forced to sleep by my mother. She watched us as we darned old dresses, read an awit, or hammed a cradle song in Tagalog.

She always reminded us that sleeping at noon enables children to grow fast like the grass in our yard. In this way, in most Filipino homes many years ago, children made to understand what the siesta was.

Very often I had to pretend to be asleep by closing my eyes.

Once while my mother was away, I tries to sneak out of the house during the siesta hour. I had not gone far when I felt something hit me hard on the back. Looking behind, I saw my father. He was annoyed because I had disturbed his siesta. I picked up a pillow at my feet, gave it to him, and went back to our mat.
