The Daily Teaser — 13-9-2014

Yeah GODS, but I’m up early … !

No, really early!

At least … early for me.

And definitely way too early for a Saturday morning.

Frankly … ?

I’m asking myself why.

Oh, yeah, I know why … !

I’m babysitting, me nephew, Jude.

I’d better get a move on, as I’m starting early … … 

~≈Á≈~

With that in mind, let’s get a move on, shall we?
