In the morning you may look vertical, but there's nobody in there!
The hardest thing you do every day is get up – everything else pales by comparison
You wish days were longer than 24 hours – you could stay up until you got sleepy and still get enough sleep
Midnight is mystical, magical moonlight and definitely not to be missed on behalf of m-o-o-r-n-ings
Getting up early gives you jet lag
You think sunsets outclass sunrises any day of the week
"mornings" should be spelled "&%$#@^%&!?!" (or any combination thereof)
You wonder what's with this "early to rise ... makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise" stuff — aren't owls supposed to be wise?
The first week after daylight savings time begins you simply aren't
You know that brunch is "evah so much more elegant, dahling!" than mere breakfast could ever be
Your dinner companions keep falling asleep on you
Your spouse is a lark. The world is divided between larks and owls and they marry each other. C.B.L., Washington
If God had wanted you to see sunrises He would have scheduled them for once a month at noon. J.M., Florida
You marry a lark and are astounded to learn that anyone EVER gets up that early! C.B.L., Washington
And now a contrary opinion from a lark!! "If it wasn't for some of these insomniac inventors who stayed up at night to figure out how to unnaturally light the night, we'd all be getting a good sleep, like god intended. Long sleep in the winter, shorter sleep in the summer, and just right in the spring and fall." B.W.
A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?"
Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal.
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."
And God said, "No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."
And DOG lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted.
And God was pleased.
And DOG was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. DOG has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."
And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And CAT would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into CAT's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings. And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased.
And DOG was happy.
And CAT couldn't care less one way or the other.
