Josh's Morning Check

At 8 years old, Josh has got it more together than I ever will.

Josh- I always hear you running water in the morning. That's when I know to get out of bed.

Me- Oh? That must be when I fill the tea kettle for coffee. ...

Josh- I hear that, then do my morning check.

Me- Morning check? What is that?

Josh- It's when I check to make sure everything is working properly. I wiggle my toes, twist my ankles...(etc, etc)...check my eye lids...(goes on naming each part of his body).

Me- Wow. So you do that every morning when you wake up?

Josh- Well yeah! You never know what could happen and what could stop working.
