breakfast in bed

i’m thinking whomever invented breakfast in bed was a genius… or NOT! breakfast in bed brought to you by a child is awesome… unless you were asleep, that might bring it down just a little 😉 then when you realize the dish is covered in syrup (on the bottom???) and now so is your blanket (that brings it down another notch… maybe even two). then you attempt to sit up in bed without spilling and still wondering what exactly has been handed to you (because you are still asleep). i was actually impressed with my breakfast in bed but then i needed a place to put the sticky plate. the whole point of breakfast in bed is to not leave the bed, right? of course, i’m done so i guess i “could” leave the bed… technically. but i’m sure the inventor of breakfast in bed intended for the recipient to stay in bed, i should accommodate that intent. a scrap piece of paper works! but then, now i’m still sleepy, still comfy in my bed… no way i’m staying awake. ugh, but if i were to bump that plate i’d either be covered in syrup or get it all over the bed or floor. now i can’t sleep! i decide to get up, avoiding the syrup on the blanket… i go wash the plate and then all the sheets & blankets on my bed (covered in syrup & crumbs now). evil breakfast in bed! hey kids, feel free to do that every weekend… it’s worth it!
