Me: You forgot to set your alarm last night. Come on, it's time to get up and ready for school
Zombie emerges, looking as though dragged through a hedge backwards, and shuffles into kitchen in search of school uniform.
Some time later...
Me: Have you had your breakfast yet?
S: I'm just getting washed and dressed.
Some time later....
Me: Have you had your breakfast yet?
S: I'm just getting washed and dressed.
Me: You'd better get a move on, love, or you won't have time to eat your breakfast.

S: No, I'm just getting ready for school.

Me: Have you had your breakfast yet?
S: I'm just getting it.
Some time later....
Me: What is that noise? What are you doing?
S: no reply
Me: What is that noise? What are you doing?
S: no reply
Me: Smudgelet, what are you doing?
S: Putting my Lego away... (said in that irritating teenager tone where the intonation rises at the end as though it is a question or as though blatently obvious)
Me: Have you finished your breakfast?
S: No, not yet.
Me: There's no time for messing with Lego (the Lego which I'd actually put away in the middle of the night) or you'll miss your bus. Finish your breakfast. Now.
Three minutes later...
S: Oh great, it's time to go for the bus and I haven't had time to finish my breakfast! It's so unfair.
Me: Goodbye, have a good day at school.
S: SLAM
Oh, I am SUCH an unreasonable mother!
