7-15-97, 7:43 AM (At Least that's what I Thought)

I awoke to Kourtnee bouncing on my bed yelling, "Wake up, LaDawnya!" I rolled over to look at her. She was dressed and smiling at me. I pulled the covers over my head. Kourtnee snatched the cover completely off me. She told me to get up. I looked at the clock. Oh Lord, I had overslept. It was 7:43. I jumped out of the bed, almost knocking Kourtnee over. I heard her laughing as I closed the bathroom door.

I heard a knock on the door, and then Kourtnee said, "Are you decent?" I mumbled a yes while brushing my teeth. Kourtnee came in the bathroom laughing. She was getting on my nerves laughing. I asked, "What's so funny." Toothpaste and saliva ran out of my mouth. Kourtnee handed me a towel from the towel rack. She laughed even harder. I rolled my eyes at her. She stopped laughing. "Did you just roll your eyes are me?" she asked. I apologized. She smiled as she said, "It's not really 7:43. It's only 6:45." After I rinsed my mouth out, I looked at her and said, "It's only 6:45? What are you talking about?" She laughed as she said, "I set you clock up an hour. It's only 6:45." I just stared at her. I wasn't sure if she was joking or not.

I walked out of the bathroom into my room. I went and took my watch off the dresser. It was 6:49 AM. Kourtnee was standing in the bathroom door laughing her head off. After a few seconds, I started laughing, too.
