Rise 'n' Shine. Oops!

I opened my eyes languidly. The clock hands show it’s 6.15; the sun is rising. How come I opened my eyes at this odd time? (Now, the term ‘odd’ is completely subjective, for your information.) Anyway, it was a nice dream! Got up, went to the bathroom; took my toothbrush. And tried to recollect the interspersed pictures of that now-fading dream. Boy, that girl was hot! (Since college is over and I haven’t been out of house lately, it’s been a while since I’ve seen any ‘real’ hot girls. But as they say, hakuna matata; no worries, my dreams compensate for that.) But it’s this unusual jetlag I’m having. Did I sleep too much? Maybe, I woke too early. 

I trudged myself into the living room; folks are glued to the television. Hmm, these people started watching the idiot box in the early mornings too! 

Me: What’s for breakfast?
Dad: ??
Mom: ??

Ha! Folks thought I was a lazy bum who could never wake before the sun started blazing. Puzzled they are; they should be. Dear folks, I’m flexible, you know. Off I walked towards the kitchen. Nothing made! No food!! What the heck?? I walked back to mom. 

Me: WHAT’S FOR BREAKFAST??
Mom: What’s the problem with you? All you do is Eat, Sleep, Eat, Sleep. Let me get this straight. Food prices have soared, consumption is to be lowered. There’s no enough food for you in this house. You ate a truckload of food at noon and now you need breakfast at dusk? Shoo, go away, get lost. 

Dusk?? Oh! Alright, alright, I get it. I slept at noon I guess; for 5 hours straight; and when I woke up I mistook dusk for dawn. Darn! No wonder I had a jetlag. But looking at the bright side of things, I needn’t brush my teeth in the morning again, Yee Haa! But still, Drats!! The sun wasn’t rising; it was setting!
