Reality is not like the adverts....
Mar. 26th, 2004 08:31 amThere used to be an advert for some make of car on TV.
Husband (young, slim, fit in many senses of the word) is washing car, evidently fairly early on a weekend morning. Wife is watching, clearly aroused by the spectacle. Husband finishes car wash. Wife and husband kiss in kitchen. Husband glances upstairs, with implicit 'what about our son' question. Wife says 'don't worry, he won't up for hours yet'... Kid, who can't be more than 6, chooses about now (obviously enough) to wake up and yell "Mum! Dad!
It's broad daylight. On a weekend. It can't, reasonably, be earlier than 9.30 am. His parents have been up long enough that they've got as far as washing the car. And they *really* think he'll still be asleep, and STAY asleep for 'hours'?
Mike, woken at 6.40 am by his son this morning. Again. :)
