I Think I Hear Them Squealing!

We have a system in our household. At 7 am, the Contrarian comes to wake me up. “Babe, babe, ….babe, it’s 7. . . .” he croons. Today, it was punctuated by a second statement. “Are you ready to be shocked?”
“mmmwhhhat?” pushing the cobwebs from my mind.
“Obama won the Nobel prize.”
“For what?”
“For peace.”
