 "We're visiting my Aunt Susan for the weekend and I'm the first one up.  I think I'll make cornbread for breakfast!"

 "Well, I found the cornbread mix, and here's a big bag of flour!  Gosh, it sure is heavy!"

                             "Oops, the bag broke.  I'd better get a mop."

                "Hey, this is really weird.  This stuff seems to be setting up!"

                                   "Oh, no...  This isn't flour.  It's--"

                                                          "Uh-oh!"

 "Well, guess what.  There's a time-out corner in Aunt Susan's house too!  No fair!"

     "Uh-oh... Mother says she wants to see the entire floor in my room."

                                                       "Hmm..."

                             "TA-DAH!!!  I glued everything to the walls!"

                                      "She's still not happy.  I don't get it..."

 
 

"Mother, want to hear a knock-knock joke?  Mother? Mother? Hey, want to hear a knock-knock joke?  Mother? Mother? Mother?  Want to hear this really neat joke I got from school? Mother? Mother? Mother? Mother? Mo--"

 "I don't get it.  That's got to have been the best offer she's had all day..."

 

"I'm gonna impress the cute little girl from next door by hanging upside down from this window!"

                                     "Oh, good-- Here she comes!"

                                      "WHOOPS!"

                "They never seem to appreciate your desperation."

 

                                     "Uh-oh...  I can't find my bed again."

 

"My sister sure does talk to her dolls a lot.  Maybe I should try something like this with my action figures..."

"Hello, all you pretty babies.  I'm gonna tuck you into a nice warm bed, but first we'll have a tea party..."

                   "Ever get this feeling you're doing something wrong...?"

 

"Oh no! Mother says she needs to lose a few pounds.  This is going to mean no more pies and cakes..."

                                        "I'll just have to learn to bake."

 

                                               "I'll sneak in quietly..."

              "That's the best thing to do when something's followed you home."

 

"Homework assignment: Write an essay on the importance of practice when learning a new skill.  Oh, yuk."

                                         "Wait, that reminds me..." 

                       "It's time to start practicing for summer vacation!"

 

"I'm not supposed to spoil my dinner but I want some potato chips, so I'm gonna sneak this bag up to my room..."

                                                   "WHOOPS!"

           "Only a Mother could hear a sound like that from six rooms away..."

 

"Father says he can't afford to raise my allowance right now but I'm welcome to any loose coins I might find in the sofa..."

 "Oh yeah, like I'm gonna get rich shaking out the sofa cushions.  Ri-i-ight..."

 

"But I like it this way, Mother.  And besides, I never get any spider webs!"

                                 "The spiders don't have room to work!"

 

"Oh no! Mother's back from shopping with three more canisters of oatmeal! I'm throwing a tantrum right now!!!"

 "Mother says to quit fussing because things could be a lot worse...  Oh YEAH?  Well, how could they be worse? HOW?"

 

                      "Taxes again!  Well, that explains the bad mood!"

 

"Homework assignment: finding ranges: Ask all your neighbors how long they have lived near you and then find the range of years."

                      "I wonder if 'much too long' is an acceptable answer..."
