"I am having a bad day!!!" Abbey yells from upstairs.
"How can you possibly be having a bad day? You were at school all day, then you went to Girl Scouts and learned all about First Aid, you got to tour an ambulance. You had ice cream and went to play at your very best friend's house. How is that a bad day? Come down here and talk to me." The Mommy yelled up the stairs at Abbey.
"Well fine, just let me tell you about this day. You know this morning when I got up, I couldn't find Blanket, well that's because he was hiding, and then when I went to look for him, he jumped out of the shower and scared me, and I dropped my chocolate milk and it spilled on the carpet, so you were mad. Then when I tried to get dressed, remember I couldn't find my socks and I didn't put on any pants. Well actually that's because Blanket told me that today was flip flop no pants day. Apparently that was a lie because you yelled at me and told me to get dressed and put pants on. So I got dressed and came downstairs for breakfast. You made cinnamon rolls with the really good icing, and you gave me one on the purple Hannah Montana plate, but you forgot to give me one for Blanket, so I had to share, or he'd eat my stuffed animals, so I was still hungry. Then I went to school and had a perfectly fine day, except for wondering what Blanket was doing while I was gone. Then you pick me up and I come home and what do I find? My medals and trophies are on the floor because Blanket was pretending to be the sharptooth carnivore again, and he pretends they are buildings and that he's a giant. And actually, he got one tangled in my American dolls hair again. He put all the stuffed animals on the floor and lost my remote. I told you we should let him stay in the van all day so he can't destroy my things. Apparently, he can't be left alone or he just acts crazy. So I took him with me to the Girl Scout meeting because you said I could. He kept telling jokes so I laughed every time she was explaining the first aid to us. He tickled me during the friendship circle so I fell down when I was supposed to be standing up. He kept jumping while I was holding my ice cream so I got all sticky. He told me and Lily to color on our face with marker, and now it won't come off. Now I want to take a bath, but he's sitting in the bathroom pretending that he put poison in the shampoo and my hair will fall out if I clean it. Like I said, I am having a terrible day."
The Mommy says "Abigail, I have told you again and again that you have to have some personal responsibility for your actions. I can't keep getting things out of that doll's hair. Bring her to me and then get in the bathtub. After your bath, then pick up your mess."
Abigail stomps upstairs and gets into the bathtub. Blanket is lounging against the edge of the bathtub.
"Told ya. I was thinking that tomorrow, I would just hang out and order some movies on demand. Your mom didn't mind last month when I watched all those movies right?"
Abigail looked at Blanket and took a very deep breath. "It's going to be pretty hard for you to have any fun if I throw you up in that tree again."
