Morty and the Mousetown Talent Show
Morty was up early. If he got to the television first, he could pick his favorite Saturday cartoons.But instead he stood outside the bathroom, waiting impatiently for his sister to come out.
Morty had gone to the refrigerator right after he awoke for a quick swig of juice.He was so groggy that he accidentally grabbed the bottle of garlic and stinky cheese vinegar instead.Now he had a horrible taste in his mouth.He couldn't wait to brush his teeth and rinse with mouthwash to get rid of it.
When I grow up, I'm going to have my very own bathroom, Morty thought.I'll never have to wait, there won't be any squeaky mice baby toys in the tub,and I'll have a huge stack of Mega Mouse towels all to myself.
His daydream was interrupted by an even stronger awareness of that horrible taste in his mouth.Pounding his paws on the door, Morty squeaked, "Get out of the bathroom NOW!"His command woke up everyone in the house.Morty groaned loudly when he heard his little brothers scamper downstairs toward the television.
Morty finally got his turn in the bathroom, but it was too late for his Saturday cartoon hopes.The sounds of The Junior Mouse Cartoon Club made it clearthat he had missed out on being the cartoon commander for the morning.
I hate this, Morty thought.If it weren't for Miss Primp and Pretty, as Morty called his sister when she spent hours in front of the bathroom mirror,I'd be watching Mega Mouse.Instead I'll be listening to mice singing songs about vowels and manners.
Morty was so mad that he completely ignored bathroom courtesy.He squirted toothpaste on the counter and splashed water on the mirror.He let the towel slide to the floor when he finished drying.His tail swung around and knocked over the wastebasket before he slammed the door and stomped down to breakfast.
"Good morning!" Mother greeted him cheerfully.
"What smells so good?" Morty asked as he headed for the pantry to get the Cheesie O's.
"Tonight's the Mousetown Talent Show, and it seems my best talent is making cheese drop cookies.So I'm baking some for the dessert table."
Morty was about to ask for a delicious warm sample when his sister swept into the kitchen.''Mother, you should see how Morty left the bathroom!"
Ducking behind the cereal box, Morty's ears perked up to hear his sister tattling away.Luckily, Mother didn't have a chance to react before Miss Primp and Pretty moved on to whining about her cold.
"I think we have a good chance of winning the Mousetown Best of Show this year," his sister boasted.She and her friends had been rehearsing a song-and-dance number for the past four months.Nibbling around her breakfast, she described their costumes and fancy moves."But my voice is scratchy, my ears are plugged, and I can't even smell those cookies!"
Mother took the oven mitts off her paws and hugged her sick daughter."Take a hot bath and rest today, and we'll see how you feel later," she suggested.
"I don't want to let my friends down," Morty's sister said.
Morty heard only two things: an annoying song about sharing with others that blared from The Junior Mouse Manners Club,and a clear indication that his sister would be spending half the day in front of the bathroom mirror.Then Morty had a very mischievous idea.
A few minutes later, Mother and Morty's sister left the kitchen.Morty silently grabbed two bottles from the refrigerator and tucked them under his Mega Mouse pajamas.He quietly sneaked upstairs and closed the bathroom door.First, I'll dump all her Fruity Tootie shampoo in the toilet, he said to himself.Then he carefully refilled the shampoo bottle with garlic and stinky cheese vinegar.
Next to go in the toilet was his sister's favorite Mouse of Mystery perfume.Morty filled the pretty blue bottle with sugar water.Flushing the toilet, Morty looked in the mirror and rememberedhow carefully his sister always applied her lipstick to avoid getting any on her whiskers.
