The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 26, 2021

How much sadism in a child!

Use what ever wakes him.

Tickle his nose with a feather…..

Spoil sport.

OK, no airhorn!! How about two metal trashcan covers, used like cymbals??!

/SHMRIK/

I find that a glass of ice water dumped onto the nether region works well.

Heavens no! Mom might have to call the EMS folks for a possible coronary event.

Why not? He won’t like being rudely awakened either way.

You can use the megaphone, but speak softly. If only the term “air” had the same meaning as it does in the phrase, “air guitar”.

aww, why not?! I like seeing him go through the ceiling. :D

Plug in the Stratocaster and turn the amp up to 11!

Can I yell like Tarzan?

The bugle?

And if you do, you’ll have to clean it up.

I remember once when my cousin was sleeping on the couch right next to a big stereo speaker. I put in a Beatles CD and cranked the volume op all to way. Selected the track “Revolution” and pressed play. He rose two feet off the couch! :)

Probably not a good idea here. I might blow a stent

Lost a friend in Dec,2019. This suddenly made me remember when as teens we literally needed a police whistle, to wake her up. I think her being one of 12 kids, and four of them to a bedroom, made that sort of sleep necessary.

What a delightful child, Brutus should be very thankful.

If I had ever awakened my father from a nap like that, I would have ended up with a hand on my backside.
