No, my mother banged pots in the kitchen instead.
I have had to specifically ask my parents to grind the coffee ahead of time when I'm there visiting. Being woken up at 6 am by the coffee grinder? Even the prospect of fresh coffee doesn't help.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I like kitchen noises. But then (going back to a previous conversation), I never have trouble falling back asleep in the morning, so it's pleasant for me to just lie there in a sleepy haze and listen to someone else making noise in the kitchen--preferably while making food for me to eat.

The status is NOT quo.
Kate, my sistah! I feel exactly the same way.

Jesse (I think?), they changed the headling to "Mom: Jackson pleaded to sleep with my son." I guess someone agreed with us.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm with Kate and Kristin. Kitchen noises when I am not in the kitchen=someone else making me food, which is always a delightful thing to contemplate.
Should the kitchen noises not be followed by the presentation of either food or coffee I do become a little surly, but this is a thankfully infrequent occurrence.

Right there with you on that. And funfun, my dad is physically incapable of setting a kettle on a burner without it sounding like the whole thing is collapsing. He can't even add sweetener to his coffee quietly. It's actually quite a feat, how dang LOUD the man can be without even opening his mouth.
So I got singing AND kitchen noises in the morning and I am not a morning person.
Kinda surprising I'm not locked up.
