Me: E., it’s time to get up. Come on, babe! Let’s go! You don’t want to be late, do you? It’s time to get up and go to school!

Ellis: No.

Me: What do you mean, “No”? You have to get up and go to school. Do you want to stay here in bed all day?

Ellis: Yes.

Me: Fine, then I’m taking to work with me all the food and the glass out of the windows.

Ellis: Don’t be such a drama queen, Daddy.
