Disappointment

I had more difficulty than usual trying to get Robbie to wake up this morning. My alarm went off at just before 5am as usual and as usual I woke Robbie and told him to get up. On my first attempt he told me to go away, I tried again to ask him to get up and this time I got a resounding No! I gave him a minute or two to wake up and then I tried again, this time my words were accompanied by a well aimed prod. His response to being asked to get up was to ask why should he? I informed him that he would be late for work if he didn't! With the superior tones of someone talking to an especially stupid child he announced that it was Saturday and he wasn't going anywhere! Poor deluded man! When I told him it was only Tuesday he leaped into action but there was such a disappointed look on his face, like a child who had been told that Christmas cancelled!
