School’s out today, so I didn’t see any reason to wake the kids up early. My youngest son was already up when I reached the kitchen, so we puttered around until eight, when breakfast seemed like a good idea.<\/p>\n
“It’s a shame your brother isn’t awake yet,” I said as we finished. “But I guess he can get his own breakfast.”<\/p>\n
“Oh, he’s awake.”<\/p>\n
“Really?” I went to his room and knocked quietly, but there was no answer. After a brief hesitation, I opened the door and peeked around.<\/p>\n
He was lying in his bed, listening to the radio. “Aw shoot,” he said when he saw me.<\/p>\n
“What?”<\/p>\n
“I’m listening to two hours of commercial free music.”<\/p>\n
“Oh,” I said, backing away. “Enjoy.”<\/p>\n
He emerged a few minutes later, looking a little embarrassed. “Good morning.”<\/p>\n
Honestly, though, I think he had the right idea. Why not spend a holiday morning lying in bed and listening to music?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
