The Monkey knows that he's not to get out of bed until his clock says six o'clock. He's got a cute little digital clock with colored numbers that he checks when he wakes up, and if he gets out of bed too early he gets in trouble.
Unfortunately, he's been having nightmares lately. We've been trying to encourage him to stay in bed when they wake him and comfort himself. Oddly, he came wandering into our room at 2:30 am last night and said that his clock said 6:00 and that he was ready to get up! Sure enough, when Ann took him back to bed, his light was on, his books were out, and his clock was reading 6:30.
As it turns out, he'd had a bad dream and didn't want to stay in his room. So he decided to fool us and (somehow) advanced his clock to six o'clock so that it would be wakeup time. Clearly we've underestimated his intelligence, but clearly he's underestimated ours if he thought we would fall for THAT one!
