wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!

this adolescent fern looks like it just woke up and is rubbing the sleep out of its eyes. if it were my son, i would have just chanted my favorite, infuriatingly annoying wake up call, after turning on all the lights, and opening all the shades: “wakey wakey, eggs and bakey.” as a result, my son would hate me for yet another morning. which is just another part of being a mom. love you joe. i know you love me too. someday you’ll know it too.
