Yawns at Dawn

When my daughters were very young, while getting ready in the morning we'd play a game. We'd still be waking, so inevitably, one of us would yawn, and another would prompt them-

"The yawn fairy got you! What does she look like today?" (I just realized our fairies were always female, lol - just like us)

Exercising our imaginations was a good way to wake up, and eventually we each would have described in detail our yawn fairy for the day; for example:

My yawn fairy has wavy red hair with golden highlights falling down to her waist, and bright leaf-green eyes. Her dress is short and sleeveless, and made of light flowing fabric of gold and green. She wears golden slippers with laces that criss-cross up her calves to just below her knees, and a circlet of daisies on her head. Her wings are transparent sliver with red spiral patterns at the tips, and there are sliver sparkles on her cheeks.

We tried to outdo one another in our details - I'm smiling as I remember! We were wide awake by the time we were finished, and ready to start the day.

Sigh. I really miss those yawn fairy days!
