If you had your choice, how would you prefer to be woken in the middle of the night?
a) A gentle breeze blows through your window. The gossamer curtains are caressed by the fresh ocean air as it carries with it the scent of orchids. You barely awaken as your senses take in the soft breeze and heavenly scents, and then you drift off again into your dreams.
b) The rain softly pelts your windows, as you are snuggled into your warm bed. Under the covers of an antique quilt, you ponder the sweet simplicity of life. The rhythmic pounding of the rain gently lulls you back to sleep.
c) A three-year old runs into your room, stands at the edge of your bed and screams/cries, “I GOT TO GO PEEEEEEEEE!”. After you are jolted out of your slumber by the seemingly possessed child, he proceeds to turn on the bright bathroom lights and then screams on the potty, refusing to get off until you turn on a “BIG MOVIEEEEEEEE!!”. He is placed curtly into his bed, the door closed so he does not waken his sister with the siren-like screaming. You attempt to go back to sleep and slow down down your heart-rate after the trauma.
If you chose c) you are clearly insane. But really, who wouldn’t want to be woken up by a red-face screaming child??
The, child, of course, has no recollection of the occurrence. “Who me??”
Oh, my.
I choose A. However, C. is more like my life…
OMG, is there a choice? No one ever gave me a choice before. LOL…”has no recollection”… 🙂
LOL, if only we were allowed to choose, eh?? 😉
LOL! I thank God that my girl is still in her crib, in diapers. :o)
too funny. my daughter has this ‘habit’. She has to cry ‘Mommmeeee’ every morning a 4:30am. It’s killing me.
Who me? must live here, too. I think there must be some sort of little elves who inhabit the bedrooms/bodies/homes of children and take great joy in disturbing the parents in such offensive ways.
I hope that little monster stays under the bed for a while so you can enjoy a good night’s sleep.
