Answer 2

Jack feels caught in an ugly middle position because he is divided into two different difficult situations.

Explanation:

• He feels like he is caught up between two worlds.
• One upstairs consists of his children, Jo and Bobby, where he is telling them a bed-time story but his daughter Jo wanted lots of clarification, pointing errors and suggesting alternatives.
• And the world downstairs had his six month pregnant wife painting the living room expecting Jack to help her, and who he wanted to take care of.
• He was stuck into two difficult situations, unable to choose between the two because he wanted to fulfill his duties, both as a father and as a husband.
• Jack felt guilty of both task being undone because he couldn’t come to help his wife on time while all his efforts to make Jo fall asleep had gone into vain.
