10:45 a.m. — Greenlife Grocery, Asheville
I hand FRIENDLY CASHIER a bottle of juice and a small brown bag.
FC: Good morning! What's in your bakery bag today?
ME: Ohmygod. What DID I put in the bag?
FC: *smiles*
ME: ?!?!?!?!?!
FC: *waits*
ME: *peeks inside bag* What's that called? What's that even called?!?
FC: *waits*
ME: ?!?!?!?!?!
FC: *smiles*

Mornings are too hard, you guys. I'm going back to bed.

Yup, that is the perfect illustration for Morning Me. Except instead of pineapple, I have hamsters. They refuse to start spinning the wheels in my brain until at least 11.
ReplyDeleteIt's especially bad when my bf tries to speak French to me before I've had my coffee. This morning, for example:
Him: OOO-EEE lil' feetsies?
Me: WHAT? *stares at his feet*
Him: OOO. EEE. lil' feetsies?
Me: WHAT?! *feels brain hamsters panicking*
Him: Where. Are. The filters. For the coffee. Ou est les filtres.
Me: *points to filters* *goes back to bed*
You know better than to be awake and talking to other humans before noon!

ReplyDeleteThe hard part is trying to buy my coffee without having had any yet...
