The Early Bird might get the worm but the Night Owl gets the Bird >:]

I just love how she looks up and rolls her eyes while she sits and taps her feet, right around 1:00 into the clip. It's such a trivial thing. But I have little doubt that was ad-libbed, and it was perfect.

[ohhhwolfy]

I figured those were two different shirts, since they never show the chair again after she puts her pants on. And how does she put her pants on so fast? They very carefully paused the camera to give her a minute or two to put her pants on. They were very careful not to move the camera, disturb anything or turn on any lights or add shadows, weren't they! It's almost undetectable!

[Katherine Mathis]

Anyone notice her shirt is on the chair above her pants and then it is magically on the bed? And how does she put her pants on so fast? I want magic powers like Shirley!!!

[Thomas K]

Cutest little thing!

[Annabel Froxbury-Mansions]
