Mary Joins The Circus

One fine afternoon, Mary Test went to the kitchen and saw her mother, Lila Test. She told her "Mommy, i just dreamed about being in the circus!"

Lila smiled. "That's good to hear, Mary." she said. Mary then went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. Just then, her father, Hugh Test, came and told her "Mary, it was great that you brushed your teeth. But it was early."

Mary said "I do not want to be late for the circus, Daddy." "The circus?" Hugh asked. "The circus was not until tomorrow."

Mary was upset. She ran from the bathroom and into the living room.

Meanwhile, Hugh and Lila told their sons, Lumpy, Roo, and Johnny Test, their pet dog, Dukey, their son in law, Gil Nexdor, and their daughter, Susan Test, about how terrible Mary was. "Look, Dad, Mary never stops." Susan said. "Yes, Susan." Hugh replied.

He then turned to Mary and said "How about we make some toast? We could make into ducks!" Mary yelled "No, Daddy! Toast was for teenagers! Besides, i am going to the circus no matter what!"

"Dad, why was Mary being so mad?" Johnny asked. "She wants to go to the circus, son." Hugh said.

"But, Mommy, i did not mean to do anything terrible. I AM NOT A LOSER!!!" Mary shouted. "Mary, be quiet!" Lila told her.

"Hey, Dad. If Mary never stops being terrible, can you ground her?" Johnny asked. "Sure, son." Hugh said.

"Oh yeah, Hugh. Just ground her." Dukey said.

Hugh went over to Mary and told her "Mary, how dare you misbehave about the circus! That does it! You are grounded for two weeks! Go to your room and go to sleep!"

Mary got very angry. She glared angrily at Hugh and yelled "YOU ARE AS EVIL AS VERMINOUS SNAPTRAP!!!" She then went upstairs to her bedroom crying and sobbing.

"So just Susan, Dukey, Roo, Lumpy, Gil, and i are going, Dad?" Johnny asked.

"Yes, son." Hugh told him.

 Susan, Dukey, Roo, Lumpy, Gil, and  Johnny were happy. They said "Yay!!" They then went upstairs to their bedrooms.

"Should Mary learn?" Hugh said.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Yes, Hugh." Lila said.
