For some reason when we went to bed one night everything seemed funny and we girls kept giggling. Dad would call for us to quieten down, which we would for a few seconds then we were giggling again.
Dad told us again to quieten down . We tried so hard but sometimes that makes everything funnier. So Juanetta and I giggled more.
Suddenly Dad said, "I want the ones who are talking and giggling to go to the living room." He met us there and set two kitchen chairs facing each other in the center of the room. Then he said, "For the next hour I better not hear you two stop talking or I will paddle you."
Juanetta and I started talking. It isn't easy to think up things to talk about when you are required to. Talking non-stop makes you very thirsty too.
We had been talking for a while when one of us said that we needed a drink. We started trying to figure out a way to get a soda without being caught. And we finally came up with a plan.
While Juanetta kept sitting and talking to herself I slipped into the kitchen and got sodas from the fridge. Then I slipped quietly back into the living room and we continued talking while we drank our soda.
By the time our hour was up Juanetta and I were talked out and ready to sleep.
