The Canada Day Discussion

"But it's Canada Day..."
"I know it's Canada Day... and it's going to be a beautiful day, too!"
"But it looks beautiful right nowww..."
"You're right, it is, and it's also actually really beautiful to see you awake, y'know... before the crack of noon!"
"I'm only awake because I had plans, Mama! It's Canada Day!! I'm a Canadian, tooooo... and I was going to celebrate..... ALL... DAY.....LONG!!! And by 'celebrate'... I mean OUUUTSIIIIIIDDE celebrate! I was going to run outside and play outside and snack outside and have treats outside and I was even going to nap outside! ... All because I'm a Canadian... and now you won't let me celebrate....."
"Okay, Day, I think you're getting far too worked up here. You can do ALL of those things and I promise you that we are going to have a fantastically fun day today! All I said was we needed to wait a couple of hours for the grass to dry... It just is NOT safe for you to be running in the morning-dew soaked grass. You and Play run WAY too fast and risking a slip and fall that could really hurt you would just not make for a fun Canada Day, at all!"
"But I'm only worked up because I wanted to show my little brother about Canada Daaayyyy... he doesn't know yet and I wanted to show him earlyyy....."
"I think you're just up too early and still a little filled with the grumpies!"
"I'm not grumpy! I have my BANDANA ON!! ... That means I'm EXCITED about CANADA DAAYYY... NOT GRUMPY!!!"
"Yeaahhh... I think it's time for another little nap. Let's go... either right up here on the couch or your choice of your napping beds but you, Mister, need a few more hours of sleep before we begin again!"
"I'm keeping my bandana on..."
"Okay."
"I am kinda tired, Mama..."
"I know."
"I don't mean to be grumpy... I just really love Canada ... *yawn* ... Day....."
"I know, I love it, too... even more so, now that I get to share it with you and Play....."
"Happy Canada Day, Mama."
"Happy Canada Day, Day."
