Sleepy Heads

Think of a time when you were totally and utterly disoriented. Don't read below until you have a time.

It likely took you a few seconds (or more) to think of a time, right? Well this happens to me all the time. Especially when I'm waking up. It doesn't matter where I am or who is there when I fall asleep or who is there when I wake up...for the life of me I have no idea about ANYTHING when I wake up.

If someone doesn't wake me up, then I slowly wake up myself and I'm fine after a few seconds. And it's not so bad when dad wakes me up because I can hear him and he just waits for me to come around. But mom is always in a rush so she doesn't have time to wait for me to wake up. And let me tell you, man oh man when my mother or brothers wake me up I swear to you I have no idea who I am, where I am, why I am, or how I got here. It's really scary sometimes! I look left, right, up, down, at the person waking me up, past the person waking me up, and I even try to look at myself. It's like I'm being born as an alien and another alien is standing in front of me talking alien language. And it's SO WIERD when they turn into English speaking mothers and brothers again. What's even worse, my father always laughs at me, which makes me even more scared and paranoid! My mother usually just says something loud or fast and starts pulling me out of my car seat or bed or couch or whatever. And I'm ZOOED.

If you are a mother or a brother or father reading this, would you mind taking the time to use an alien translator or something before you wake up your daughter or sister? How would you like it if a space creature came in and made you freak out?

A little consideration goes a long way. 'Cause then I won't jump on YOU in your bed before 7:00AM on Saturday morning.
