Getting up late in the morning
#817赖床
I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting
up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert!
It's seven o'clock! Get up!"
Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep. I'm not
at all like my brother. I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't mind
getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower. I get
dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go
downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls.
But not Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band (军乐队) in our
bedroom could not wake him up. I call him and say, "Get up! Mum will
be up here to pull you out of bed if you don't get up immediately!"
But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to
come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day
with my little brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time,
but I really don't think so.
