Background - I have 4 children made up of 2 teens, 1 preteen, one under 10 year old.
(Bit of background, you can just skip this paragraph if you want, so you can see out attitude. We are a pretty relaxed family about time keeping etc. We hate to be late for prearranged things but when we do stuff that isn't time sensitive then don't necessarily stress about time. E.g. if we went to an all day event and planned to get there about 10am, if we got there at 10.30 or 11 it wouldn't stress us out, but if we were meeting someone for coffee we'd aim to get there early.)
So, on weekends and holidays we can have lie-ins/relax/read in bed etc.
The two teens have been going to bed after midnight/1/2 in the morning so getting up at lunchtime. I often don't sleep well so relax in bed in mornings but dcs know they can get me if needed, I sometimes help with breakfasts etc. Two youngest up by 8, preteen helps with breakfast, they play until I come down.
BUT THIS MORNING - everyone was up and breakfasted before 9 o'clock. Yes, 9am, not 9pm.
It feels really surreal. I was awake before 7am and pottering about upstairs and came down for cereal at 9.30 and I really felt like I had entered The Twilight Zone. What other eerie things am I going to experience today? Have I entered another reality or dimension? Were my teenagers replaced by aliens overnight?
What experiences have you had that made you think you had entered The Twilight Zone?
