Somethings are better said in parables, there is a physical and spirit reasons for that....
Its always our culture to communicate in morninq,and one of such phrases used is 'are you up from sleep'.. I have found out that many of us tend to act funny when asked that, its never an annoyinq question, and also there is a reason why its beinq asked, i think that 'question' has a substitute buh its rarely used.
BOY: good morninq mom.
MOM: morninq son, are you up from sleep/hope you slept well.
BOY: yes mom..............

Why do some people hate that question' are u up frm sleep'.
