As we've discussed many times, you are an early bird and I am a night owl. I know, I know, you aren't a bird and I'm not an owl, but it's a figure of speech that means you like to wake up early and I like to go to sleep late. Which means I don't like to wake up early. Really, I don't.
So this morning when you accidentally called me at 6:49 I know you were already an hour into your day. You had eaten breakfast, watched an episode of Dora or Imagination Movers and were moving on to coloring. I on the other hand still had 56 minutes until my alarm was set to go off. 56 minutes is a long time Bug!
I tried to go back to sleep, but Emmy is an early bird like you and took notice that I was awake ever so briefly. She wanted some attention so she started headbutting me and tapping me with her paw until I got up. She is one persistent kitty cat!
So I gave in, and started my day before 7 am. Ick!
I'd like to make a deal with you, ok Bug? When I stay at your house, or we go to the beach, it's totally ok for you to wake me up early. Because while I may be just a touch grumpy about it then, at least I get to hang out with you, and play fun games like go fish or old maid or color pictures. But when you call and wake me up early then I'm just up. Without the fun part. So, no more early morning phone calls, ok? Tell mommy to keep that phone away from you. Or the screen on lock. Anything to keep it from dialing my number before 8 am M-F and... 9:30 on the weekends, just to be safe.
I'm glad we got that settled.
Love,
Aunt Stacy
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Yeah. That sucks. All the waking up, none of the fun hanging out. And the cat that then realizes you're awake. My cat Izzy was like that. I had to fake sleep or she would harass me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a screen lock is in order! :)
Seriously!
DeleteHer mom read her the letter and her response was "Emmy is funny." Not exactly the takeaway message I was going for, but true.
