SOMEHOW, IT ALL WORKS OUT

Mom, did you hear my alarm go off?

I was hoping by his senior year of high school my oldest would be able to wake up to an alarm clock all by himself.  I had reason to hope... there were a few years where he was completely responsible for getting himself to school. He did it when I had to be to work by 8am and I wasn't working from home. But at 19, in the last weeks of his senior year it's become a morning joke...  what is he going to say this morning... "My alarm didn't go off", "Why didn't you wake me up?',  "I'm not feeling well can you call me out of school?"   After months of "It's not my job" and "No, you have to go to school"  he comes out with "Did you hear my alarm?"  like that would make it alright that he's late because I didn't hear it...  LOL  I said yes and I heard you push snooze about 4 times.
