I generally try to wake the boys in a gentle manner so that they don't arrive at school already frazzled. This morning I tried a different tactic to see what effect it would have. Pit was already awake, standing zombie-like by his bedroom door. I started speaking loudly (not shouting) like an army drill sergeant, harshly spewing the list of things he had to do and repeatedly emphasising to get moving and to do it quickly. While I was doing this for almost a minute, his blank, zombie expression turned to a scowling koala expression - grumpy yet very cute. I stopped talking and after a short pause, Pit gave a single response, heavy with an Italian accent, "No!" - I had to scoot to the kitchen to hide my chuckles!
