The sun hadn’t even peeked over the horizon when little Lala was already wide awake. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, her tummy giving a tiny rumble that reminded her of exactly what she wanted—breakfast! But not just any breakfast. No, Lala had her mind set on something special: eating at a restaurant with Mom.
Tiptoeing through the quiet house, she climbed onto Mom’s bed and began her mission. First came the gentle nudges—soft pokes at Mom’s arm, followed by a sweet little giggle. When that didn’t work, she leaned closer and whispered, “Mom… breakfast? Can we go out?” Her voice was filled with so much eagerness that even in her sleepy haze, Mom couldn’t help but stir.
Mom cracked one eye open, half expecting it to still be the middle of the night. Instead, she saw Lala’s bright smile hovering over her, full of hope. “Lala,” Mom groaned, “it’s so early! Can’t we just have breakfast here?” But Lala shook her head vigorously, her determination stronger than any snooze button.
She began listing all the reasons why restaurant breakfast was the best: fluffy pancakes bigger than her head, crispy bacon that sizzled on the plate, and juice that came in cups with straws—so much better than at home! With every word, her excitement grew, and soon Mom was laughing at how serious and persuasive Lala was being.
Finally, Mom sat up, still yawning but unable to resist. “Alright, you win,” she said, smiling at Lala’s victory dance on the bed. Within the hour, they were seated at their favorite spot, with plates piled high with pancakes, eggs, and fruit. Lala beamed as she dug in, proud that her early morning plan had worked perfectly.
For Mom, the tiredness melted away as she watched her little one’s joy. For Lala, it was a morning she’d never forget—a breakfast not just about food, but about sharing laughter, love, and a special adventure together.
