Paige felt someone shaking her shoulder.  "What?!" she barked, refusing to open her eyes or move.  "I know it's Spring Break, but you can't sleep the whole morning away.  It's already 9 o'clock.  Come out to the kitchen and eat your breakfast after you get dressed," Mom instructed.  A few minutes later, when Paige entered the kitchen, she still looked like a walking zombie.  She opened the cupboard door that held the cereal, and scanned the shelf. "What happened the the Lucky Charms?" she roared.  "Your brother just finished them up this morning," Mom answered.  Paige slamemd the door shut.  "I'm not eating then!"
