Liam: "Mommy, wake up. I need some soy milk."

Me (inspiration strikes): "It's too early for Mommy to get up. How 'bout you wake up your Daddy and ask him for some soy milk?"

Liam: "Oh! I could wake him up and we could have soy milk and play trains together! Bye, Mommy! Take your time getting up - I'll just go wake up my Daddy, you see."

I got to sleep until 8:30 this morning. I am truly a genius.
