(Long pause)
(Snoring)
MACK
Mom, get these blankets off! Off! Off! (Pushing blankets off my body.)
Don't cover your legs! Don't cover foot! Get up!
MICHELLE
Mack, Mommy's tired.
MACK
(Insistent)
NO NO NO YOU NOT TIRED.
MICHELLE
Groan. Fine. Fine. I'm up. I'm... (struggling into sitting position) OK, now I'm up.
Don't you know Mommy was working late last night? That Mommy needs to rest, like, occasionally?
Fine, now what do you want for breakfast? Toast? Yogurt?
MACK
Yes. Also need you change my diaper.
MICHELLE
You're pushing it, kid.
