Losing Daylight
Wyatt:
“...OOO, EEE, OOO, I LOOK JUST LIKE BUDDY HOLLY...”
Me:
Dude! What the hell?
Boone:
It’s time to get up.
Wyatt:
Yeah. Wake and bake, pop.
Me:
Wake and... Do you even know what that means?
Boone:
Does it have anything to do with toaster pastries?
Me:
Eventually, I guess.
Wyatt:
What do you mean?
Me:
You’ll find out in high school. Go back to sleep.
Wyatt:
It’s 7 in the a.m. Let’s get this day rolling!
Me:
It’s not. It’s 6 a.m.
Boone:
You sure, dude? It feels like 7 a.m.
Wyatt:
Feels like 7 a.m. to me, too. Uh-oh, old man. You know what this means.
Boone:
Alzheimer’s.
Me:
You guys haven’t adjusted for Daylight Saving Time.
Wyatt:
What’s Daylight Saving’s Time?
Me:
We set the clocks back to save energy or something. And it’s “Saving,” not “Saving’s.” It’s not a sale at Big Lots.
Boone:
So everyone sets their clocks back once a year?
Me:
And then we set them forward in the spring.
Wyatt:
Jesus. Make up your mind already.
Boone:
That explains why you put us to bed so late last night.
Me:
It was just an hour later and clearly it didn’t work.
Wyatt:
You should consider just getting up at 6 a.m. until the clocks get set forward again.
Me:
No way, dude.
Boone:
I don’t know what to tell you, pal. I’m up.
Wyatt:
Me, too. Ready to rock.
Me:
Okay, but this means I’ll have to push your naps back help get you back on track.
Boone:
Fine. I don’t need a nap anyway...
Me:
Wyatt, was that a yawn?
Wyatt:
What? No.
Me:
That was a yawn. I saw it.
Boone:
What are you doing, bro? Keep it together.
Wyatt:
I can’t help it. I’m getting tired.
Me:
Don’t fight it.
Boone:
Fight it! Fight!... Okay. All this is making me tired.
Me:
Too late. We’ve missed the window. Up and at ‘em, guys.
Wyatt:
You are such a jerk.
