Where are all the peoples?

At the beginning of the week I had stayed up pretty late or should I say, early in the morning, to catch-up on a few TV programs that I TiVo during the week...Later that morning, I woke to look at the clock and to my total surprise it was 8:40! Mind you, I have been an early riser for several years now (some of you might remember a few years of 4:30 a.m.'s). Anyway, to see that I have slept through my children's normal wake times of 7:30 & 8:00, I quickly jumped from my bed to find Emily's room bright and EMPTY! As I made my way down the stairs to investigate, I hear her sweet voice singing, "Jesus Loves Me" as she is sitting at the counter flipping through the pages of Jeff's Bible.
If I could have video recorded it, I would have. After enjoying the song, I quietly said, "Good morning, Em". When she heard me, she looked up and said with startled wide blue eyes, "Where are all the peoples?" After a quiet chuckle and eagerly awaiting what else she will say, I ask her if she looked in momma's bed. She replied with both palms facing up and shoulders shrugged, "I can't find any peoples in there" (apparently, my head was under a pillow).
