After I bribed Scout with the pool if he took a real nap (meaning he actually falls asleep and doesn’t just play for an hour in his bed), I told him I was going to definitely check to see if he fell asleep.  Just to emphasize that I do what I say, I took in a magic marker for proof.  He definitely was asleep, and only twitched his little nose like a bunny when I drew the mustache — the freckles and beard went unnoticed.  When he woke up and saw what had happened (and was a little disgruntled) I told him to cheer up.   True to my word, we got our bathing suits on and swam the afternoon away.
