SPRING BREAK AWAKENING

The college daughter is home on spring break. She takes a lot of very tough courses and is very involved on campus, so surely she was looking forward to a week’s rest and relaxation at home. Best of all: sleeping in.

Not so fast. There’s a young’un in the household, an afternoon kindergartner who’s usually bored stiff every morning, with nobody to play with. At an hour most spring-breakers would consider “the crack of dawn,” the little one opened the big one’s creaky door and walked right up to her bed.

The big sister heard the munchkin footsteps and knew who had come into her room without knocking. She opened her eyes.

AND THERE WAS A GIGANTIC GUINEA PIG, STARING HER IN THE FACE!!!

Now, I’m sure there are college students on spring break at Daytona, Padre Island and Palm Springs who have awakened to weirder sights. But at least this one’s legal, and doesn’t involve wet T-shirts.
