02br
002. Why isn't it 'why didn't you lie down too?' Isn't the speaker talking about what occurred in the past?02br

0We are both very tired. You insist on staying up, staying occupied, doing a bunch of chores. I go take a nap.02br
02br
00Later: I get up and tell you how refreshed I feel. You are still tired, and NOW you are cranky too.02br
02br
00Seems like a very good thing to say to you at that point!0-
