“Wake up!” shouted Fred in excitement. Joe rolled over to ignore his brother. “Today you have a big day ahead of you!”
“What do you mean?” said Joe in distress, rubbing his face into his pillow
“Don’t you remember?”
“Remember what?”
“Today’s the annual pie baking competition!” Fred explained.
Joe moaned loudly, “Pie baking what??”
“Remember? We signed you up for the competition,” said Fred in an annoyed voice.
Joe looked at his older brother. “You signed me up! I never liked pies, and I absolutely hate baking! If there’s a pizza eating competition – then come and wake me up. Now please go away and let me sleep.”
