I could probably tell you if I knew what time of day it was; my mother is a fastidious creature of habit.

In 30 years, she's managed to get her first cup of coffee into the same 10 minute window every day except twice. those were bad days...she wakes up at the exact same time too: 7:12am. It really fucked me up when I got to Kindergarten and the teacher said we had these things called "free time" and "recess"...What do you mean I can do whatever I want? This is uncomfortably unstructured for me!
