A Day in the Life.

Scene: 6 a.m. on a school day. I'm trying to wake up Mad Dog and The Deuce to get them ready for school.

Good morning, girls. It's time to wake up.

(Groans.)

C'mon. Let's go. It's time to get crackin'.

Moooommmm. Can't we sleep in?

Sorry, but no.

It's not fair! My friends get to sleep in past nine.

I find that unlikely. School starts at 8:30.

Why can't I be home schooled? Then I could sleep in longer.

Honey, you do NOT want to be home schooled. Because then, you'd only get as smart as I am and I owe it to you to give you a better shot at life.

(Giggles.)
