CHAPTER 2: My Day
Um, so . . . hi. A-gehn. In case you forgot, my name is Doc.
Today, I want to tell you about my day. Every day is basik-a-lee the same. My life is verry boring, but that is ok. Boring can be nice sum-times.
My day starts with sleep. Sleep is verry important. I am the best sleeper at my house. My daddy is a verry good sleeper, but I am even better than him. I am definutly verry better than Mommy. Mommy is not a good sleeper at all. She dusn’t practis enuff. I practis a lot, so I am a champ-ee-un sleeper.
Mommy wakes me up verry early. It is still dark. She takes me outside so I can pee. I like to pee verry much, and I like going outside. (Outside is one of my fave-rit words. I think I forgot to menchun that last time.) But I do not like going outside when it is sleep-time, so I pee verry fast. This makes Mommy verry happy.
She takes me inside a-gehn and helps me get back to bed. Then she goes and talks to the computerr verry loudly for a long time. Ow-ers and ow-ers and ow-ers. I sleep, becuz I am smart.
It is my job to help Daddy wake up. Sum-times I sing to him. (My Daddy and Mommy both like to sing. I like to sing too, but they call my sing-ing “wine-ing”. I think they are jeh-luss.)
If that dussn’t werk, I jump on the bed and sit on top of him. My Daddy is a good place for sitting. Sum-times it is so nice that I forget abowt waking him up and go back to sleep – but not for long, becuz it is time for brekkfust.
Daddy feeds me brekkfust as soon as he gets up.
Brekkfust is one of my most fave-rit times of the day.
After brekkfust, Daddy duz sum-thing called x-er-size. Mommy keeps talking to the computerr. Daddy says she is werking and we need to be verry kwie-et. Sum-times I go walk by verry close to her legs so she noes I am there and am bee-ing verry kwie-et.
Then Daddy leaves – I think he goes to werk – and I go sleep.
I need to practis a lot if I want to keep bee-ing the champ-ee-un sleeper.
After I sleep for a long time, Mommy takes me outside for a run. I like running, but Mommy dusn’t understand running. She runs and runs and runs for ow-ers and ow-ers. No stopping. Sum-times I watch her frum the windoe when I am not sleeping.
She dusn’t pee on anytheeng.
She dusn’t even sniff.
I try to sho her how to run when she takes me running, but she only lets me stop a few times.
(I have a lot of thots about running. And walking. I will rite a hole chapter abowt these theengs laterr.)
I poop on the run. This is a verry important part of my day.
And Mommy gives me a biss-kit after the run. This is even more verry important.
It is sleep-time a-gehn after the run. I can’t say enuff how important sleep is. It is the most verry important thing. Every day is abowt 100 ow-ers, and I sleep for abowt 80 of them. (I can cownt verry hi. I noe lots of numberrs. I am verry smart.) That is how important sleep is.
Mommy sits at the computerr all afternoon. I think she is werking. Sum-times she takes a brake and pets me and even rubs my belly. Belly rubs are verry nice and almost as verry important as sleep.
(I have a lot of thots abowt belly rubs too. I will rite a chapter abowt them laterr.)
Mommy takes me for a walk later. This meens anuther biss-kit afterwerds. This is anuther verry important part of my day.
The most best-est verry-est important part of my day is when Daddy gets home.
Daddy plays with me. He chases me arownd and arownd the house and throes my rope for me to catch and rubs my belly. Mommy plays with me too sum-times, but she is not as fun as Daddy.
After Daddy gets home, it is dinner time. I luv dinner time verry verry much. I luv it more than brekk-fust.
It is verry boring after my dinner, tho. Mommy and Daddy sit at the table and eet and eet and eet and don’t give me any of there dinner, even tho I sing and sing abowt how wunderfull they are and how hungry I still am.
Sum-times they do let me lick there plates. I am the most very best plate cleener-upper. I am the champ-ee-un of cleening plates, as well as sleep.
Then Mommy and Daddy reed and reed or watch TV, and I sleep. This is a little boring, but I get to be on the couch with them, which is verry nice. The couch is one of my most fave-rit sleeping places.
And it is important to sleep a lot before bedtime. I always take a good nap rite before going to bed. This is why I am such a champ-ee-un sleeper.
Bedtime is the most bad-est and the most verry good-est part of the day. It is the most bad-est becuz Mommy and Daddy put stuf in my eers. I keep telling them these are MY eers, not THERE eers, but they don’t lissen. They say my eers are gunky and need med-i-sun. I think this is a verry rood thing to say.
But, after the nasty most very bad-est part, they give me biss-kits.
TWO BISS-KITS. That is the most verry good-est part of the day.
Then it’s bedtime, and we all sleep. I like it when we all sleep together.
That is my day.
Um, so . . . I think I want to say sum-thing. Mommy says that a lot of peepel are sad or scared rite now. It’s like everyone has nasty, very bad stuf bee-ing put in there eers.
I want to say that I hope you can all have a biss-kit – maybe even TWO biss-kits – afterwerds. Biss-kits make everything better.
And sleep. I hope you all get lots of practis and can be champ-ee-on sleepers like me.
Um, so, thank u four writin bout yur day.
You are wel-kum. It was fun! Luv, DOC
My cat Thomas thinks HE is the champion sleeper – perhaps they can have a contest sometime. 🙂 Cute piece – good time for cute, or fun, or sweet, or uplifting. Your piece is all. Sarah Thompson
I will happilee have a sleeping contest with Thomas. I am THE champ-ee-un. Luv, DOC
