Why Can't They All Be Like This?

So tomorrow, May 23, is the festival day for Secondo's "saint."  I'm not sure whether this is really A Thing in France generally, but in our family, the saint-of-the-day's namesake generally gets some kind of a small treat.  Secondo apparently was under the (mistaken) impression that he would be able to choose the treat:

X:  "Tomorrow is St. Secondo's day!  Isn't that exciting?"

Secondo:  "YES!  What do I get?"

X, slightly taken aback:  "Well, there might be a small treat involved."

Secondo:  "Can I sleep in?"

Me:  "Hey, if you can get your brother and sisters on board with that plan?  I am all for it."

    1. I'll probably be dead before it actually happens.

      Of course, that might be the sleep deprivation talking again.

  2. Only my girl sleeps in. She thinks she's a princess. The boys are up and running by 6:30a.m. Ugh!
