DADism #14

"Rise and Shine!"
(Alternate isms: "The early bird gets the worm," "Up 'n' at 'em!" "Wake up, little Susie," "Hey sleepyhead...time to get shakin'." "Drop your linen and stop your grinnin'!")

{Dads take sadistic pleasure in rousing the rest of their families from bed early in the morning. Perhaps Dad figures if he has to get up at the crack of dawn to go out and earn a living, the rest of the family should share in the misery. Some dads use this morning ritual to play motivational speaker.)

Sometimes, even moms hate this one.
