Stay Awake at Work #2

Before the morning coffee, what can happen? A true story with a little creative license.

 

Once I knew a man, who as a teenager was NOT a morning person by any stretch of the imagination.  When he woke up, well lets just say he wasnt quite all there.

 

In the morning, his usual breakfast was a piece of toast with some eggs his mom would fry up for him, but he had to make his own toast.  He lazed thru the motions, put the bread in the toaster, push the lever down, wait.........wait some more...........POP!!!  Grab the toast and put some butter on it.  Relieved that task was over, he turned to grab his eggs.  In doing so he dropped his freshly buttered piece of toast, face down, onto the floor.

 

Tired, and still half awake, he leaned down to retrieve it.  He didnt feel like going thru the motions again, and he knew his mother kept a clean floor, so he proceeded to pick off the little bits of dirt and such that had clung to the buttered side.  He picked and picked, but there were some pieces he just couldnt get off.  Annoyed, he turned on the faucet and begain rinsing off his toast.

My god, are you stalking me?!

I have this problem a lot. I do the silly things that really only compound the problem. It's why mornings and I don't get along. It's not a pretty bedside fellow, anyway. Bad morning breath.

Fun write here, Mac.

Funny - oh the things we do us nightstalkers that can't seem to get our eyes open in the morning's. Nice little write.

Okay yeah we rock the five second rule in this house. If we didn't my kids would never eat.
But the fool in your story is going to have to go thru all the motions again because bread gets soggy when wet. Ewwwwwww, okay just though of eating soggy bread. Haha. Poor man doesn't know what he is in for. Great job on the step by step walk thru of his morning.

Does the five second rule apply to buttered toast? I think so.
