"Hey! It's Hannah Montana!"
It is!? Seriou --
"It's time to WAKE UP!"
But I already am --
"Hey, I know it's early, but you have an awesome day ahead of you!"
Right. When's the last time you were a sixth-grader with braces in public school?
"So put on your favorite outfit, eat a healthy breakfast, and GET A MOVE ON!"

Just when it seemed Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus's alter ego) had reached the saturation point in your child's life, a revelation: The teen singer's voice can be the throaty alarm clock that rouses your offspring, via telephone, in the morning.
