Creak...pop...snap...crack. This is what it sounds like in my house in the morning. And these sounds...you guys, they're coming from my body! I roll out of bed to wake the school kids... creak.snap.pop.crack ...and tiptoe into my daughters' room... creak.snap.pop.crack ...only I don't know why I'm tiptoeing, ' cuz the creaking and cracking from my own body is louder than any squeak the floor could make. One of these days, this old body of mine is gonna wake the baby with all the noise it makes, and then, not only will I be old, but I'll be cranky, too. I'm getting old right before my very ears.
