Before sunrise painted the sky with soft colors, the house was silent. Dad was still asleep, wrapped in deep dreams after a long and tiring day. The curtains barely moved, the clock ticked slowly, and everything felt calm. But somewhere in the quiet, a small pair of curious eyes was already wide open. CUTIS, the mischievous yet incredibly clever monkey, had woken up early—and his mind was already racing with ideas. What happened next would shock everyone, because CUTIS was about to wake Dad in a way no one would ever dare.
CUTIS did not like boring mornings. He believed mornings should begin with energy, laughter, and surprise. Watching Dad sleep so peacefully made CUTIS restless. He missed their morning playtime, the jokes, the gentle teasing, and the warmth of Dad’s voice. So instead of waiting patiently like usual, CUTIS decided to take matters into his own hands. Not just any method—but a bold, reckless plan that only a monkey like him would imagine.
At first, CUTIS studied the situation carefully. He climbed onto the edge of the bed and leaned close to Dad’s face, listening to his slow breathing. He waved a paw in front of Dad’s eyes. No reaction. He gently tapped Dad’s cheek. Still nothing. CUTIS tilted his head, clearly disappointed. This wasn’t going to be easy. Dad was sleeping far too deeply.
That’s when CUTIS got an idea—an outrageous one.
Slowly and quietly, he climbed down from the bed and scanned the room like a tiny general planning a mission. His eyes landed on Dad’s alarm clock. CUTIS remembered how Dad jumped every morning when it rang. But CUTIS didn’t want a normal wake-up. That would be too boring. He wanted something unforgettable.
Using both hands, CUTIS dragged the alarm clock across the table, grunting softly with effort. He turned it upside down, shook it, and pressed random buttons, completely unsure of what he was doing—but confident nonetheless. When the clock suddenly beeped loudly, CUTIS froze in shock, eyes wide. He quickly slapped it silent and looked toward the bed. Dad stirred slightly, then fell still again.
CUTIS grinned.
Encouraged, he moved on to the next stage of his reckless plan.
He climbed onto the chair, then onto the shelf where Dad kept random items. CUTIS grabbed a soft pillow, struggled to lift it, and nearly fell backward. Regaining balance, he dragged the pillow across the floor toward the bed. This alone would have been enough to wake most people—but CUTIS wasn’t finished.
With dramatic flair, CUTIS climbed onto the bed holding the pillow above his head like a hero lifting a trophy. He paused, looking at Dad’s sleeping face, almost feeling guilty. For one second, he hesitated. But the desire for fun won.
Plop.
The pillow landed squarely on Dad’s face.
Dad shot up instantly, gasping for air, eyes wide in shock. “What—?!” he shouted, pulling the pillow away. CUTIS screamed with laughter, bouncing wildly on the bed like a tiny firework of chaos. The room exploded into noise, confusion, and movement.
But CUTIS’s reckless plan didn’t stop there.
Before Dad could even sit up properly, CUTIS jumped onto Dad’s chest and began patting his cheeks rapidly, squeaking loudly as if delivering urgent news. Dad blinked in disbelief. “CUTIS?! Are you crazy?” he laughed, half-awake, half-shocked. CUTIS answered by tugging Dad’s hair gently, then dramatically pointing toward the window as if saying, “It’s morning! Wake up!”
Dad couldn’t help but laugh. No one—absolutely no one—would dare wake him this way. But CUTIS wasn’t just anyone. He was fearless, reckless, and completely unaware of human rules.
Still, CUTIS wanted more. He hopped off the bed, ran to the curtains, and pulled with all his strength. The curtains flew open, sunlight bursting into the room like a spotlight. Dad groaned, covering his eyes. CUTIS struck a triumphant pose, chest puffed out proudly.
Mission accomplished.
But something unexpected happened next.
Instead of scolding him, Dad started laughing—deep, uncontrollable laughter. The shock faded, replaced by joy. Dad sat up, rubbing his face, shaking his head in disbelief. “Only you,” he said, smiling warmly at CUTIS. CUTIS tilted his head innocently, then leaped back into Dad’s arms, hugging him tightly.
That hug said everything.
CUTIS didn’t wake Dad just for fun. He did it because he missed him. Because mornings felt empty without Dad’s attention. Because love sometimes shows itself in wild, reckless ways. CUTIS had sensed Dad’s exhaustion lately—the stress, the quiet moments, the lack of laughter. In his own monkey logic, the solution was simple: surprise, energy, and connection.
As Dad finally got out of bed, CUTIS followed closely, still buzzing with excitement. He climbed onto Dad’s shoulder, refusing to let go, chattering happily. Dad sighed softly—not from frustration, but from affection. The reckless wake-up had done something powerful: it brought Dad fully into the moment.
Later that morning, as Dad drank coffee and CUTIS stole playful sips when he wasn’t looking, Dad realized something important. Life had been moving too fast. Stress had crept in quietly. But CUTIS—reckless, bold, and loving—had forced him to pause and laugh again.
CUTIS’s plan may have been dangerous, unexpected, and completely insane—but it worked.
What makes this moment unforgettable isn’t just the chaos. It’s the bond. CUTIS didn’t fear rules, anger, or consequences. He trusted love. He trusted that Dad would understand. And he was right.
Animals often sense what humans forget: connection matters more than comfort. CUTIS didn’t care about a peaceful wake-up. He cared about shared moments, laughter, and attention. His reckless plan was actually an act of deep emotional intelligence.
From that day on, Dad woke up differently. Not just earlier—but happier. He became more present, more playful, and more aware of the small moments. And every morning, even when CUTIS behaved calmly, Dad half-expected something wild to happen.
Because when CUTIS wakes you up, anything is possible.
In a world where everyone follows rules, schedules, and routines, CUTIS dared to break them—all for love. His unexpected, reckless plan reminded everyone that sometimes the best moments come from chaos, courage, and a monkey who isn’t afraid of anything.
And Dad? He wouldn’t trade that wake-up for anything in the world. 🐒❤️
