When to Wake Mommy...

Every kid is born with the innate sense of knowing when it is okay to wake up Mommy and when it is not. This ability is found in the common sense area of the brain, right next to reasons why or why not to wake up Mommy. So, in short, Elijah should know when you need to wake up Mommy and also why.

But his brain wasn't functioning at its optimal capacity this morning. First, he woke me up at 6:50am. Yes, 6:50am. It is the FIRST MONDAY of my SUMMER BREAK. And I am woken at 6:50am. He broke the rule to "When to Wake Mommy." The rule is clear.....YOU DON'T....Unless it is an emergency. This brings us to the "why". You do not wake Mommy up at 6:50 am on her first Monday of Summer Break to tell her that you have a booger on your finger.

Yep, you read it right. A booger.

Elijah: Mommy...Mommy...Momma..
Me: Elijah, what's wrong? (For something has to be wrong for him to wake me so early.)
Elijah: I got a booger on my finger.
Me: (Stares.....)
Elijah: I got it out of my nose. It's big.
Me: Elijah....
Elijah: I gotta pee now.
(2 minutes later comes out of my bathroom)
Me: Elijah, what did you do with the booger? 
Elijah: (Looks around) I don't know. (Looks some more...) Oh, I found it! It's on my shirt! Bye Mommy.  

(10 Minutes later...)
​Elijah: Mommy, what you cookin?
