An Early Morning

I was in bed, enjoying my last hour or so of sleep when I heard Katie calling me. I turned over in the darkness to see that it was only 5:20 a.m. I really didn't want to get up, but I kept hearing Katie say, "Look!" Whenever she does that in the darkness of the night or early morning, it usually means she has woken up with a bloody nose.

I made my way to her bed, and I thought she was pointing to her pillow. When I first looked, I thought I may have seen something there, but as I got closer, I saw that there wasn't anything on her pillow. I asked Katie what she needed, and she was holding her hand out to me to give me something.

I was a little nervous as I reached for her hand since I couldn't see what was in it and couldn't figure out what it might be. Her hand touched mine, but I didn't feel anything go into my hand.

I said, "What did you give me, Katie?"

She quickly answered, "Tinkerbell!" Then she burst out laughing before she laid back down and went back to sleep within seconds.

I wasn't so lucky to go back to sleep, but I was still glad to have someone in my life with a sense of humor. Not everyone could make me laugh that early in the morning!

I love to make people laugh!
