Wake Up Call

This morning at 10am I called my friend and sang to her, “Good morning to you, good morning to you.” I even used phrases like “happy sunshine” and “what a wonderful day.” I knew very well she’d been up until late because she and her mother went to see a midnight movie. This chick tells me all the time she thinks about calling at 8am to tell me it’s morning and I should wake up. I figured I’d go through with her evil offering and call with the most chipper voice possible.  I hung up all happy with myself then I thought, Oh I should call this other chick and sing to her. I realized it was 7am her time and decided against it. I made an oops call to her at 7:30 one morning because I forgot about the time difference. Twice in a few months at dark thirty might not be appreciated. She might not see the humor in my evil play.  See how thoughtful I am and how I put others before myself? Mother Teresa, I am.

  • Well, I’m thankful you didn’t call me! But, no, I would of course be awake! :)

  • Yeah, two early morning phone calls in one month would be stretching it. Your friend must have the patience of a saint to still consort with the likes of you after such inconsideration.

    If you’re Mother Theresa, she must be your twin!

  • Maybe your friend will call you to ask if your refrigerator is running – you could say, “I don’t know I can’t find it.” Then the joke would be on them.

    I’m up at 6 am on weekdays. I could call you Austin (think it would be 5 your time) and you Beauty (way early for you)!

  • This was rather impulsive of me. Had I thought first before calling and not been in such a rush to annoy I would have sung “If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands.” See how impulsivity holds us back?
