Chapter Four - Berating the Kitchen Sink
Phil had a propensity to scare people. Kimber nearly dropped her plate when Phil popped up out of the blue and went "BOO!" Well, I guess Kimber was thinking about something else and didn't notice that Phil had come up along-side her.
Night had fallen and the only illumination on the site was from the outdoor fire pit...at least it kept the creatures at bay - that coupled with the constant forays by Whiskers the cat, and Hans the dog, well, any creature smaller than the cat would have to be insane to come out to play...oh wait...the dog and the cat are insane too.
Well, it appeared that our erstwhile Meg Austin had started yet another pillowfight war; this time with Jack Keeter. And Lia had now moved on from seaturtle husbandry to a dissertation on Why it's OK to spear marshmallows on a stick and roast them over a nice hot open flame. It's 10PM, does anyone sleep around here?
In the interim, there was a line-up at the kitchen sink mainly because Jen had shifted her attention from berating the toilet to mocking the kitchen sink. Mac wasn't too happy about that considering she'd been up for sixteen hours straight now and still hadn't figured out that it's time for bed. None of them have.
With the cessation of the pillow beating that Meg inflicted on Jack, a water balloon fight between Mac and Kimber ensued. I take it that no-one is the slightest bit sleepy? Or maybe insanity divested them of their need for sleep and the eventual crash will be a sight to behold.
Well, evidently Jen got tired of antagonizing the kitchen sink and Harm decided to take his turn. I don't know who to feel sorry for: the toilet or the kitchen sink. And if Phil decides to talk to the appliances, they'd probably blow a fuse trying to keep up with his rapid changes of subject-matter.
oh...wait...
AW...PLUM!!!
