Aboard ship
Adventure #1
After arriving at our cabin aboard ship my mother needed to go and
sign some forms. So she left us three oldest in charge and asked us to
watch the twins. That was easy enough.....just sit them on the lower bunk
and put the tray of cookies there with them! LOL
Looking around the cabin my brother, Steve, noticed a bright shiny
panel loaded with glowing buttons!
Uh-oh! You have it! .....hmmmmmm what are all these pretty buttons
for?
Well, any self respecting 7 years old girl just has to know! And
if you know Liz, then you know how I just LOVE to click! LOL
So, of course, what else? I clicked! I clicked every single one of
those buttons except the one Steve told me I had better leave alone! That
button was bigger than the others and red! Steve told me that red
means "danger". So I left that one alone!
Before very long there was a knock at the door. Steve, knowing that
he shouldn't open the door, yelled, "Who's there!" And surprise!
Surprise! He received several answers! From several people! LOL!
Those buttons were to call different services on the ship! And they
all showed up! <grin>
After being reasured and convinced it was safe, Steve opened the
cabin door to see the whole corridor full of grownups. (or so it seemed
to me!)
One man, a very nice man, bent down to meet me in the eye and asked,
"Was it YOU who pushed all the buttons?"
(I liked him because he got down to my level and didn't leave me
staring all the way up to him :-) like most adults do)
I shyly, hesitantly nodded my head. He was smiling and laughing and
had sent everyone else away.
