It’s currently 7:01 am this morning and I’ll get back to you after the break.” Right at that I click the button to turn it off. I get up and get ready for school and I hear my mom yell “Emma come down and eat breakfast when you’re ready!” After I get ready I walk down stairs and right away smell the pancakes
