little me did a naughty thing

i was feeling real blue and tired so i asked my caregiver to let me have a little rest. she said i could but i also had these chores that were supposed to be done before bed. i told her i would do them right after i took a short nap. it wasn't really a lie, i planned on doing them later for sure. but then once i was lying down, all cozy and warm under the covers, sleep hit me so hard and fast that i never even got up to finish those chores. in the morning when she checked on my room, the chores were still not done and there it was, the big red marker of my little rebellion against her rules. i felt so ashamed and guilty for breaking a simple rule. i knew better but still let myself off easy that night. now every time i pass those undone chores, they remind me of how i disappointed her and myself. i wish i could go back and change that moment.
