This is how our mornings work. David wakes between 7 and 7:30. He immediately comes into bed with me and John. Then he gives me a couple minutes (literally, a couple) before we have to start the game. I play Geoffrey the lion. He plays C.T. the lion. Someone has given us something or taught us something amazing, and we get to tell all about it. I have to be creative, magical, original, and interesting to David half-asleep.

C.T.: What did you learn or get?
Geoffrey: I learned how to fly to the moon.
C.T.: Oh, I got a tank.
Mommy: There's not room for a tank in the house. Maybe we could put it in the backyard.
David: We could take it up the bricks and then move it down the side. That way it wouldn't knock everything over.
