Grumpy versus Perky

My mother pops out of bed. She starts the coffee, turns on the TV, and while nursing her cup of joe she watches the news. I, on the other hand, do not do perky in the morning. I slide out bed, plop down at the kitchen table, and stare at her with one eye. I am not a pretty sight in the morning and my disposition makes it worse. Undaunted mom smiles and says "Good Morning." This causes the other eye to open and I to growl, "Whats so good about it." Geez how does that woman live with me?

I lied we are staying two more days. They are doing sand sculptures and Metropolis has a casino - two good reasons to stay on.
