13: A Five Year Old's Wake Up Call

The next day arrived fairly quickly, this time around Bobby didn't act like the alarm clock and demanding Jack and Lee to get up at ungodly hours in the morning, not a sound could be heard throughout The White House, except for a certain auburn haired five year old, like many young children, once Harvey seen the sunlight peeking through the curtains he decided to get up at 06:00. Instead of going into his parent's room like most kids do, he stumbled across his Uncle Bobby's office, by standing on his tiptoes he took ahold of the door handle and opened it, then he found his uncle slumped over the desk... peacefully sleeping, until now! Harvey walked up to where his uncle was sitting sleeping.

"Uncle Bobby!"

Nothing.

"Uncle Bobby, get up!"

Still, nothing. He's sleeping like a corpse!

"UNCLE BOBBY!" He yells in his ear, third times the charm, he (Bobby) finally wakes up, much to his nephew's delight and to his sleepy confusion.

"Hey, kiddo. What time is it?" He Asks whilst proceeding to yawn

"I dunno. I can't tell the time yet".
He glances at the clock and groans... Why did he get me up at 06:05? Who's idea was that?!. He then looks at Harvey through half-asleep eyes and asks,

"Did your dads set this up? Did they tell you that I woke them up early? Is this revenge?"

"No, I just woke up I didn't know about that, Uncle Bobby,"

"Alright, kiddo. I take it you're wanting to have something to eat, huh?"

"Yeah,"

"Are you always an early riser?"

"I dunno what that means,"

"I mean, do you always wake up early before everyone else?"

"Not all of the time,"

"Oh, okay,". After a while, with Harvey fed and dressed, he was currently sitting telling his uncle what he's wanting for his upcoming 6th birthday (31st July 1966).

"I want the new Beatles album that's coming out," (yes, Harvey is a Beatlemaniac and a big music lover)

"What's it called?"

"I dunno yet, it's not out yet, stupid,"

"Harvey, don't call me stupid, it's not nice,"

"Sorry,"

"It's alright, but don't do it again, or else I'm going to have to tell your dads,"

"No, please don't!"

"Well, behave then and I won't,"

"Okay,"

"What else are you wanting?"

"I want to get a Mop Top and get to see The Beatles in concert!"

"Well... I think we would have to see what your dads say about the haircut, but maybe we could get you tickets if they're coming here to Washington on tour,"

"Is there anything else you'd want?"

"I don't know, that's just a few things I'd like,".
