Mommy, mommy, time to wake up! C'mon, mommy!
...mmm? Oh, I- I must have overslept. Don't you two have school?
Not today! It's the weekend, silly!
...right. Sorry. Did you need something? Mommy's very... very tired, kids.
Daddy put the lights up while you were sleeping, Mommy! C'mon, you gotta come see! It's so pretty!
Of course- Of course he did. Yes, I'll be right out. Why don't you two go on without me? Go... play in the snow, or something.
Okay! We'll start building a snowman! You can help us if you want!
...Sure thing, kids.
[She waits until they are gone before letting out a weary, resigned sigh.]
