a little adorable

I wake-up-call one of my students because he has a hard time getting to school on time. I want him to switch into my AP Prep class next semester, which is first hour, so I'm trying to get him in the habit of getting up early.

Anyway, usually the call goes:

"Morning, [student name]!"
"Morning, Ms. Dahlke."
"You up?"
"Yeah."
"Ok, the bus comes in forty minutes. I'll see you in sixth hour."

But today, it went:

"Morning, [student name]!"
"Morning, Ms. Dahlke."
"You up?"
"Yeah. What are we doing in school today? Can we just watch the election and talk about it?"
