Reeding Comprehension

 

Meghan: This wobbly table is driving me crazy!

Meghan: One of the legs must be short.

Holly Belle: Or perhaps there's a dip in the floor.  This can be a strange old house sometimes.

Come on, let's go find something to shim it up.

Holly Belle: This is the neatest workshop I've ever seen!

There's not one scrap of wood to be found.

Meghan: Uli was in here cleaning all day yesterday.

Holly Belle: Noah Conrad actually let her in here?!?

Meghan: Would you argue with Uli when she's got a mission?

Holly Belle: Fair point.  

Well, I know one place even she won't go in to clean.

Meghan: Shouldn't we ask the boys before we go in their room?

They always say it's a 'girl free' zone.

Holly Belle: Hmmphf.  I'll remind them of that the next time they're shrieking

about a spider that they want disposed of.

Holly Belle: They keep all kinds of bits and bob in this drawer.

Gosh, don't they ever fold their clothes??

Meghan: Frank was telling me the other day that clothes don't want to be folded

and we have to respect that.

Holly Belle: >Sigh<  What a weirdo.

Holly Belle: A-ha!  This will do the trick!

Meghan: That looks like it might actually be something.

Holly Belle: Nah, just some dumb little scrap of wood.

Goodness knows why they decided to save it.

Later...

John Martin: What are you looking for?

Gavin: The reed on my clarinet cracked, and I was sure I had an extra one in here,

but I just can't find it anywhere.  How can things just disappear?

John Martin: This can be a strange old house sometimes.
