In the middle · Lunch sits between breakfast and dinner.

Wake up · Wake up happens before breakfast and school.
Morning · Breakfast happens early in the day, in the morning.
Tomorrow · Tomorrow is the day after today.
Evening · Dinner and bedtime come near the end of the day, in the evening.
2 · First, second, third: afternoon sits second.
False · Ava is wrong: breakfast is in the morning and dinner is in the evening.
Waking up should come first · You wake up before you can eat breakfast, so her order is backwards.
Today · Today sits between yesterday and tomorrow.
