Conversation With a 7-Year-Old: Early Riser Edition

[A enters the living room wrapped in a blanket at 6:55 am]

Me: Good morning!

A: Good morning. Am I up early?

Me: Yes, you're up pretty early.

A: I woke up, and I knew it was morning, because I could hear the birds tweeting outside. They start to tweet in the morning.

Me: That's true, they do.

A: They're like my alarm clock!

Me (chuckling): I guess that's right!

A (warming to the subject): Actually, they're a very good alarm clock. They wake you up, and you can't turn them off!
