“Rise & Shine, Sleepy Squirrels!”
That’s what my dad always said to my sister and I to wake us up in the mornings. I remember him yelling it up the stairs in a super cheerful voice, but of course it irritated the crap out my us. So when my phone wakes me up every morning, the alarm says “Rise & Shine, Sleepy Squirrel!”. I am a habitual snooze-button-hitter, which resulted in a trippy dream this morning about sleeping squirrels. Squirrels sleeping in my Grandmother’s front yard, her friends having a snooze in the sunlight with their little squirrel friends. And sleeping squirrels falling out of trees. And my dog, Charlie, really confused that the squirrels weren’t running from him. Strange, but not the worst way to wake up in the morning!
