Yesterday morning, (Saturday, January 2nd @ 6:30am) I went into Rachel's room to wake her up. She likes to get up slowly! As I was rubbing her back and head to no avail, I began to get more rough. At some point she passes out of "coma" and into "fake sleep." She pretended to not notice that I was shaking her like a rag doll. When she finally realized that I was not going away anytime soon, she began to feel her way around my head with her eyes completely shut. She checked out every portion of my face with her fingers until my curiosity arose enough to wonder what she was looking (feeling) for so unsuccessfully. So, I asked her:
"Rachel, WHAT are you doing?"
Her response (in an annoyed 14 year old gruff voice):
"Just look'n for the SNOOZE button!"
That was the funniest thing I'd heard all month coming from a 6 year old that has never even USED a snooze button! I didn't even know she knew what one was let alone have the intuitive reflex to look for one on her assailant's head! The last of my little ones . . . I cherish her silliness and will miss this stage immensly!
