It was a lazy Sunday morning, and the whole house was quiet. Dad was still sound asleep, snoring gently after a long week of work. But Lala was already wide awake, full of energy and excitement. She wanted to play, and waiting was simply not an option!
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lala tapped her chin thoughtfully. “How can I wake Dad up?” she whispered, her eyes gleaming with mischief. First, she tried the gentle way. She tugged lightly at his blanket and said, “Dad, wake up! Let’s play!” But Dad just mumbled and rolled over.
Not giving up, Lala moved to phase two of her plan. She tiptoed to the dresser, grabbed her toy drum, and gave it a loud bang, bang, bang! Dad groaned and pulled the pillow over his head. “Five more minutes…” he muttered.
Lala puffed her cheeks. “Hmm, that didn’t work either.” Then she spotted her secret weapon: a feather from her craft box. With a mischievous grin, she crept back to the bed and gently tickled Dad’s nose. Dad wriggled, sneezed, and finally opened his eyes.
“Lala!” he laughed, pretending to be annoyed. “You won’t let me sleep, will you?”
“Nope!” Lala said proudly, hugging her toy. “It’s playtime!”
Seeing her bright smile and sparkling eyes, Dad couldn’t resist. He sat up, stretched, and lifted her into his arms. “Alright, little trickster. What do you want to play?”
Lala clapped her hands in victory. Her plan had worked perfectly. Soon, the room was filled with laughter, tickle fights, and games, proving that sometimes the best way to start the day is with a little mischief and a lot of love.
