my life distilled

Conversation with my little brother, who's 8 years younger:

Me: What time are you waking up tomorrow?

Him: Early. About 6? 7?

Me: Can wake me up? I need to do work.

Him: I'm sure.

Me: No, really. I really need to do work.

Him: But you'll just say mmm and go back to sleep and wake up at 10 and stone for a bit and have lunch and...I dunno, spend time somehow, and then when I come back at night you'll say you haven't done any work yet.

Me: (Indignant silence.)
