starting my day....

everyone was asleep and i was creeping quietly
out of the bathroom. walkin' by yo yo's room,
i saw that he was just waking up and looking at
the time on his cell phone.

oh! i'll go say good morning!
he shares a room with josh, so i creep in real
quiet so i don't wake josh.

as i get closer to yo, i see this massive scrunched
up face that's barely coherent and cannot see. he
seems to think scrunching harder will help his sight.
it is the funniest thing to see and i try not to laugh
so i don't wake josh, but this laugh that's squished
comes outta me. it makes a weird rattling sizzling sound.

startled, yo turns toward his clock.
you can see the complete startled confusion on his face
as he thinks that noise is a mechanical problem with the
clock by his bed.

this is too much for me.
i burst out laughing and land on the edge of his bed.
he's so surprised and mumbling 'where did you come from??'

and he grins, and wraps his arm around me and starts
laughing with me.

we're tryin' to be quiet so as not to bother josh and
it only makes it worse.

as i wandered back to my studio, i thought........ya know...
you just don't get a better start to the day than that!
