Chapter 6 Bouncing
After we finished playing Cinderella, the nanna called us to dinner.
Me and Lucille and that Grace skipped into the big dining room.We sat at a long, shiny table.
Pretty soon, Lucille's nanna came in from the kitchen.And she gave us our dinner. And guess what? Its name was beans and Frank!
"Hurray!" I said. "Hurray for beans and Frank!'Cause this is my favorite kind of home cooking!" The nanna did a teeny smile.
"Well, we usually have a cook. But I gave her the night off," she said.
After that, the nanna poured milk into beautiful sparkly glasses.
"O, Nanna! These are your best crystal glasses!" said Lucille real thrilled."I love these expensive things!" "Me, too! I love these expensive things, too!" I said.
Only too bad for me. 'Cause nobody even told me that crystal glasses were very heavy.
And so when I picked up my glass, it slipped right out of my hand.
And it fell on the floor! And it broke into lots of pieces!
Lucille's whole mouth came open.
"Oh no! You broke it! You broke my nanna's crystal glass!"
The nanna's face was reddish and scrunchy.
"Sorry, Nanna," I said real soft. "Sorry I broke your crystal glass."
The nanna sucked her cheeks way into her head.
"Let's just try to be more careful, shall we, dear?" she said.
I bobbed my head up and down. "We shall," I said back.
After that, I ate my beans and Frank very careful.Only pretty soon, my Frank spilled off my fork.And he landed on the nanna's white tablecloth.
"Oh no!" hollered Lucille. "That's my nanna's good linen tablecloth!She brought it all the way from ireland!" The nanna's face was twisty and puffy.
I quick pushed my plate away from me. My stomach felt in a tight knot.
"Yeah, only guess what? I am not actually hungry anymore.And so I will just sit here and not spill anything, I think."
The nanna cleaned up my messes with a wet cloth.
After she finished, she brought us chocolate ice cream for dessert.
Only too bad for me. 'Cause a teeny plop of ice cream dropped right off my spoon.And it landed on my chair cushion. The nanna did a big breath.
"You're a bit of a bull in a china shop, aren't you, dear?" she said.
"Sorry, Nanna," I said. "Sorry, sorry, sorry." The nanna patted my hand very stiffish.
"Quite all right," she said kind of mumbly.
After that, I got down from the table.And me and my friends went back to Lucille's room.
And guess what? Things got funner!
'Cause Lucille said we could play with the games in her closet!On account of they weren't even expensive!
First, we played Chutes and Ladders.Then we played Twister and Bingo and Chinese checkers and Tic-Tac-Toad and Candyland.Plus also we played Let's Spin Till We Get Real Dizzy and Fall Down.
And guess what? I didn't even break anything!
"Hey! I think I am getting the hang of this party!" I said very happy.
Just then, the nanna knocked on Lucille's door.
"Time for you ladies to put your pajamas on," she told us.
I danced all around the room real happy.
"Hurray!" I said "Hurray for pajamas!'Cause I brought my favorites!" I quick put them on.
"See them, Nanna? See how biggish and baggish they are?That is how come they feel so comfortable!"
The nanna's eyes looked down at me. "How very ... charming," she said.
Just then, that Grace jumped right in front of me.
"Look at mine, Nanna!" she said."See mine? My pajamas have neon-green polka dotties on them! "
"How very ... colorful," said the nanna.
All of a sudden, Lucille popped out of her big closet,
"Ta-da! Look at me, everyone! I am wearing my beauteous pink satin nightie!See me? See how lovely I look! I look like a gorgeous model in this thing!" she said.
Lucille let me and that Grace feel her material. "How very ... smoothie," I said.
After that, me and Grace unrolled our sleeping bags on the floor.And the nanna took the silk bedspread off Lucille's bed.
"Time to get your beauty sleep. Princess," she told Lucille.
Then those two kissed and hugged good night. And the nanna shut the door.
