What’s a typical morning like in your home?

Example:
• Greg: Well, I’m pretty busy. I get up early, I check my email, and listen to the radio. Then I study.
• Jennifer: Oh, I don’t like mornings. Our house is so noisy. My sister watches TV, and my brother
plays games on the computer.
• Amanda: It’s crazy. We get up late, so I eat breakfast in the car. My husband doesn’t have
breakfast – he drives.
• Alex: Well, I have breakfast, and my wife has coffee. We both read the newspaper. We’re pretty
quiet. We don’t talk a lot.

Do any of these routines resemble yours?
