Wake me up before you go, go

By Me | May 30, 2007

It’s Ricky’s birthday today. He’s only ten but he seems to be getting an early start on creeping senility.

He came wandering downstairs this morning to ask me why all the clocks said 6:36.

Me: Because that’s what time it is. Why? What time does your clock say?

Ricky: 6:36

Me: So, what’s the problem?

Ricky: Am I supposed to be up now?

Me: Ricky, what time do you usually get up for school?

Ricky: 7 o’clock

Me: Then you don’t have to be up yet, do you?

Ricky: Oh.

… and he wandered away again.

This is why children make for such good copy. No writer, no matter how vivid their imagination, could possibly make this stuff up.
