Too early to smile

    This morning when I went in to wake up Ben he was wrapped cozily in lots of blankets. It made me want to crawl back into bed, too. But, as my dad always said, we were “burning daylight.” So, I opened the curtains and tried to sound excited.
  Me: “Hey buddy, wake up.. It’s gonna be a fun day! You get to go to the pumpkin patch and go to soccer practice!” I said as I tried to pull the blankets off.
  Ben: “Mom”, he mumbled into his pillow, “I’m excited about that but I need to have some wake up time before I smile about it.”
The kid makes an excellent point.
