Milo shrugged and leaned back on his hands. "Not really. But I heard wife mumbling that if Karl can't recite the alphabet, she'll make you write it five times."
Karl groaned, rubbing his face. "Great. Just great. Now I have to stay awake."
Milo smirked. "I mean, you could always stay asleep and see what happens."
Karl shot him a glare. "You just want to see me suffer."
Milo grinned cutely. "A little."
Karl sighed heavily, dragging his hand through his hair. "I'll recite the whole alphabet if it keeps her from giving me that look."
Milo burst into laughter. "That's probably a good idea."
