Driving back at 9.45 pm from the numerous Varalakshmi Vratam visits, this is an interesting clip of conversation that the daughter and I had.
Me: Tomorrow’s Saturday. You have your class rt?
D: No mom. I don’t.
Me: Really? It was this week that it got canceled?
D: Yep. Didn’t we just go over this yesterday?
Me: No. I don’t think so. *frowning*
D: Oh fine. I forgive you.
Me: Gee, thanks. So what else you got?
D: Oh. we should buy me closed shoes for camp next week.
Me: Right. I meant as in classes and stuff.So okay, good, nothing for you!
D: Nope. That’s why am going for bro’s basketball games.
Me: Oh yes, he’s got 2 games back to back?
D: Yes. You’re coming right?
Me: I donno. What time’s the first game?
D: 9.30 I think.
Me: Okay. We’ll see.
*pause*
Me: So apart from his games there’s nothing else?
D: Nope.
Me: Really?
D: Mom. I don’t have anything. Munchkin doesn’t have anything.
Me: Right. Yeah, I don’t think there’s anything for me either! Perfect! Yay! I can actually sleep in tomorrow?
D: er, sure. You don’t care for your son’s basketball, I see how it is. Sure sleep away mom, sleep away.
Me: Wait. The game’s at 9.30. I said am gonna sleep in. Nobody wake me up before 8! *grinning and declaring triumphantly*
D: *chuckles* Mom! You call 8 am sleeping in? That’s just pathetic mom! Really. Knowing you, you’d be biting away nails at 6.00.

Grr! Am gonna show her. I shall roll on that bed and read in bed and starve if I have to, but I shall not get up till 8 am. There!
How do you get up at 8 on Sat? Tell me, please?
Oh, you are just a mother!
lol
I plan to do the same, but unfortunately my 2yr old loves to wake up at 5 on weekends, where on weekdays he wont even move until 8… lucky me at mom’s home…Grrr
Did you sleep in? ;p
😆 so did u roll on till 8AM today?
My mom too plans to sleep till 7AM on sundays, but she never does that 😀
LOL!
For all overtly concerned and the chucklers included, yes, my brain was up and functioning since 6.45 (hey, better than 6 as declared before) but I rolled in bed and fussed enough to kick the husband out earlier than his schedule.
I dozed in and out and got out at 8.07 am. See, I can sleep in too you know!!
Lol! Glad to know that you had your way and a little more 😀
How can you guys just not sleep? i dont get it!
That’s coz you are 20. I asked the same question when I was 20 too! ..and then I had to go have kids. :s
I live life the same fastrack way!!! For me 7.30 is sleeping -in…and my family thinks i’m crazy if I say I need sleep..
Did you finally roll over and starve yourself and sleep in???
Lol!
So did you sleep in till 8 AM?
Well.. my sleep in typically is till 1130 AM, and read in bed till 130 PM. Only then will the stomach start grumbling.. 🙂
*tries to make Rads jealous*
Came here through many many blogs.. 🙂
haha, you know there was a time when I’d be jealous, but then I’ve had my time sleeping. Now, it’s okay. Growing up I suppose 🙂
Heh heh! Amajing conversation. 🙂 I suppose sleeping-in-ultimatum gradually gets earlier till you actually have kids, when it takes a plunge and becomes – as you said, 8 AM!
I don’t have kids of my own but it is lot of fun watching my nephew grow up (he is three). Sometime last year I had a conversation with him where I told it was imperative for me to wear pants when I go out to the play area with him.
I’d love to sleep in, but the old bod has got so use to getting up early that I can’t:(
My youngest can happily sleep till mid-afternoon, given half a chance!
