Not everyone is a morning person .
Just take it from 14-year-old Zachary Towns. The middle-schooler usually stays up late playing "Fortnite" and using his phone, NBC-affiliated WEYI reported.
So come daybreak, the Michigan student usually has a hard time waking up, which has made him late for school more than once, according to the outlet.
But his mom Crystal had enough of her routinely son missing the school bus.
"I had told him that if this kept occurring that I would have to call the school cop," Crystal told WEYI. "So I did."
Recently, Zachary refused to get out of bed and expected to stay home from school but he was sorely mistaken.
"I woke him up," Crystal told WEYI. "He thought he was just going to not go [to school] and I said, 'Nope you're learning today,boy.'"
Shortly thereafter, aschool resource officer with Grand Blanc Township's police department arrived at their home to escort Zachary to school.
"I wasn't very shocked at all. I was just like, 'Oh, OK off to [school],'" Zachary told the outlet of his unusual start to a school day. "She does a lot of things like this."
And, for his part, Zachary said he might have had it coming. "I'm pretty lazy," he said. "Can't lie I like to sleep in."
The middle school student said that he may have taken things a bit too far, though.
"I don't think I should have pushed my moms limits because that's the 100th time I've done it this year," he said of sleeping in.
But Crystal doesn't regret a thing: "I did what I needed to do I would do it all over again and feel good about it."
Crystal told WEYI that this year she's getting her son an alarm clock for Christmas.
