Susan Runs Away (version 1)

Hugh Test was in the kitchen, having some coffee and reading the newspaper when he heard someone crying and sobbing in the next room.

"I DID NOT DO IT!!" somebody yelled.

Hugh's wife, Lila Test, looked at him. "I am going, I am going." he said, as he put down his coffee and the newspaper down and went into the next room. There, he saw his daughter, Susan, with a teddy bear behind her back. Her brother, Lumpy, was standing behind her, and her other brother, Roo, was sitting on the floor, crying and sobbing because Susan hit him on the head with her toy.

"Susan?" asked Hugh, "Susan, did you just hit Roo on the head with your teddy bear?"

"No!" Susan replied rudely.

"Are you lying to me?"

"No!"

Hugh turned to his older son. "Lumpy?"

"She did it." Lumpy said.

"No one likes to tattle on other people." said Hugh, as Lumpy walked upstairs to his bedroom.

Hugh picked up Roo and rubbed him to stop him from crying and sobbing. Then he turned to Susan as he placed the kangaroo in his playpen, saying, "All right, Susan! Go upstairs!"

"NO!!" Susan shouted.

Now Hugh was getting angry. "Susan, I am not going to say it again! One...Two...Three...Four...Five...Six..." Hugh counted.

"Five... Six... Seven..." Susan counted.

"You do not count, Susan. I count!' Hugh told her.

"Eight... Nine... Ten!!" Susan said.

<p class="MsoNormal">At that moment, Hugh angrily picked up Susan and placed her on the couch for forty seven minutes. "All right, that was it!" he said.

<p class="MsoNormal">"What?" Susan asked. "That's right, that was it! You are in a time-out! And you are not going to the movies with Gil tomorrow!" Dukey, Hugh and Lila's pet dog, their son, Johnny Test, and their daughter, Mary Test, gasped. So did Susan's boyfriend, Gil Nexdor.

<p class="MsoNormal">Susan became very angry. She glared angrily at Hugh and yelled, "YOU ARE AS EVIL AS DARK VEGAN!!!!"

<p class="MsoNormal">Susan began to cry and sob and ran away from the Test household, and into her adoptive parents' home, where her adoptive parents, Virginia Flaversham and Hiram Flaversham, were waiting in the front door.

<p class="MsoNormal">"Susan, wait! Come back!" Hugh cried. Gil looked at him.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hugh started to cry and sob, with Lila, Dukey, Mary, Johnny, Roo, Lumpy, and Gil comforting him. "Oh, Susan!" Hugh cried. "I am so sorry. I did not mean to make you run away!"
