Susan Runs Away

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

"I DID NOT DO IT!!" screamed a girl's voice.

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 Test with a toy hedgehog behind her back. Lumpy, one of her brothers, was standing behind her, and Roo, her other brother, was sitting on the floor, crying because Susan hit him on the head with her toy.

"Susan?" asked Hugh, "Susan, did you just hit your brother, Roo, on the head with your toy mouse?"

"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 his back to stop him from crying. Then he turned to Susan as he placed the kangaroo joey in his playpen, saying, "All right, Susan! Go upstairs!"

"NO!!" Susan shouted.

Now Hugh was getting angry. "Susan Test, I am not going to say it again! One..."

"Two..."

"I count!" Hugh shouted, "You do not count!"

"Three!" Susan finished.

At that moment, Hugh angrily picked up Susan and placed her on the couch for thirteen minutes. "All right, that was it!" he said, "Nope, that was it! You are in a time-out! And you are not going to the arcade with Gil tomorrow!"

Susan became very angry. She glared angrily at Hugh and yelled, "YOU ARE AS EVIL AS DARK VEGAN!!!!"

Susan then began to cry and ran away from home with angry tears in her eyes, slamming the front door. Hugh gasped, looking horrified. "Susan, stop! Come back here!" Susan did not listen. She ran away to her adoptive parents' house, where Danny Fenton and Sam Manson, Susan's adoptive parents, were waiting for her at the front door. "Susan!" Hugh called after her. Hugh's sadness came into his mind and began to cry with Lila, Johnny Test, Mary Test, Dukey, Roo and Lumpy consoling him. "Oh, Susan, what have I done to you? I didn't mean to get you mad at me and I didn't mean to make you run away from home like that." Hugh sobbed. "I'm sorry, Susan. I'm so very sorry."
