Our resident rooster is taking the task of rising with the sun each day a little too seriously. The 5:30 - 6-ish mornings are really getting to us! Hence the need for a parental intervention. It went something like this:
Mummy: When the sun is waking up in the morning, you don't have to wake up, too.
Annie: But it's light.
Daddy: Annie, you can still lay in your bed even if it's not dark outside.
Annie: But it's light.
Daddy, sternly: We want you to stay in your bed until your alarm goes off. (That idea - using an alarm to keep her in her room - wasn't working so well.)
Annie, trying to get her point across: But it's light.
Mummy: Annie, when the sun wakes up, it's saying to you, "Annie, it's too early to get up. You should stay in bed for a while. Just because I'm up doesn't mean you need to get out of bed, too."
That's what the sun is telling you.
Annie, completely awestruck: The sun can talk?!
She still seems to think she's a rooster.
