READING PRACTICE : TALKING ABOUT DAILY HABITS

I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls,”Herbert ! It’s seven o’clock ! Get up !”
Herby answers,”I’m coming !” and goes right back to sleep.
I’m not at all like my brother. I don’t like to go to bed at night but I don’t mind getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take my shower. I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls.
But not Herby. He just sleeps. A military band in our bedroom could not wakt him up. I call him and say,”Get up ! Mom will be up here to pull you out of bed if you don’t get up immediately!”
But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herby out of bed. He always says,”I was going to get up in another minute. Really I was.”
It’s that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he’ll learn to get up on time, but I don’t think so.
