We finally got rid of the parents
Mom was pretty easy. While she was leaning out over the rail, feeding the fish, we gave her just a little nudge. There goes mom! Dad was harder, since he has his sea legs. But, we told him there were dolphins surrounding the boat, and while he was leaning out with his camera, we gave just a little push. We are sure going to miss that camera…
We have the boat all to ourselves! No more school! We can go anywhere we want! There is plenty of food and fuel on board (thanks, Mom, thanks, Dad). We could head south for Tasmania – I guess that is where kids like us belong. Or north to Fiji. Well, we would love to have a koala bear as crew, so I guess we will stick with the plan and go to Australia.
First we have to decide who is captain of this ship. I (Molly) think it should go by age. 5 minutes older is plenty to establish dominion, don’t you think? I (Jessie) think it should go by height. A captain needs to be taller than her minions.
Height! Age! Height! Age! Pow! Sock! Punch! X@!* %!!! Kerpow! Woops, there goes Molly. Wish I knew how to turn this boat around, with all these sails up.
Well, I guess those full nights of sleep are over with. Australia, here I come! ~ Jessie
P.S. Happy April fool’s Day!
