They just don't get it

Already today I have had the following conversations:

Christian: "Why did you wake us up so early?"
Me: "Early? I woke you up at the same time I always do."
Christian: "Yeah, but why?"
Me: "Because it is Monday. You have school today."
Christian: "Yeah but if we are all too tired to do school then there isn't really much point, is there?"

Around the same time...

Alex: "I didn't want to wake up this early! I wanted to sleep till lunch time."
Me: "^%#(*#@!"

Earlier in the day...
Ethan: "Can I turn on the TV?"
Me: "No! You know the rule is that the TV doesn't come on until after school."
Ethan: "You mean we have to do school today???"

What the heck? Did candy rot their brains last night? Did they somehow get the idea that we take the day after a holiday off? Sometimes we don't even take holidays off... I can't imagine where they would get the idea that today was a free day. ARGH!
