[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!
