native-like or not? no. 15

Dear All,

Would native speakers consider this sentence as natural sounding? I'm particularly wondering about the underlined part.

Do you work every morning?
Yes, but I can take one morning off if I have a good reason.

 Thanks!

I'm confused. Clive says that one morning off sounds OK and Canadian says it doesn't sound natural. I think I need a concluding point here

Our sentences are not comparable. "one morning off" and "one morning off each week" are very different.
