The impossible morning

Rich woke up at 9:30 this morning! He always wakes up around 7:30 or 8:00 and rarely at 8:30...but 9:30? I got up early and studied, and then I waited for my family to come downstairs for breakfast, but that never happened. Eventually I took a shower, which usually wakes Rich up, but still nothing happened. Finally, I had to do some things at my desk rather quickly before leaving for campus, which caused a stir and woke up Karen.

ME: You should look at the time.

Karen bent over the bed to check her phone.

KAREN: 9:23.

ME: Yep.

A pause.

KAREN: Whoa! 9:23?

I explained that Rich was not up yet and that I was waiting for them to come downstairs and they never did.

KAREN: I thought you were playing a trick on me and that you were going to say, “Just kidding.” 9:23?

A few minutes later, Rich woke up.

  1. It was so crazy.

    And you are a tricky one. I wouldn't put it past you to do something like that.

    1. It sounds kind of fun, actually. You should be on your guard from now on. I'll give you the wrong time when you least expect it.

  2. So did that throw his schedule off all day?

    1. I don't think so. He actually slept in until 9:30 this morning too! So I don't know if he's figured out that sleep is awesome or what.
