“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”
A.A. Milne
“What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?”
“I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” said Piglet. Pooh nodded thoughtfully. “It’s the same thing,” he said.”
