When you wake up in the morning,

What is your first thought?

If you asked me, I would say "I have to hurry and turn

my alarm off so it doesn't wake up brother."

But when I do finally get out of bed that morning,

I go and make my lunch for the day,

and make the pot of brewing, hot liquid we call coffee

and maybe do some of my chore of the day, if the time

allows me because I get h0me late at night.

But if you ask if I drink it, I may say yes, may say no.

That is only because it is that I don't drink coffee

as much as my siblings.

And also because I want to save the coffee for my parents

And my two siblings that are able to drink the coffee without

it being scalding hot and burning their throats.

The only one not able to drink it, is my baby brother Nathaniel,

who just turned 8 months old yesterday.

And with coffee, everybody has it different

but in my household, we all have it the same.

We all have it as creamer and the hot liquid.

Or as milk and sugar, when we save money for other

things besides the fancy flavored milk.

We put it both in our coffee cups, and then mix with a

small spoon and drink our cups of joe.
