Its called a shock nap"I said smiling but Deanna's mother shoved me out of the way to get to the porch swing,stepping on the moth"Uh...now he's dead"Lenny said"Okay so how about we go in?"Sally said"Good idea Sal"I said smiling awkwardly"Kay so lets go back to our favorite year"I unlocked the door"1978"I said smirking as the doors opened and everyone walked in talking excitedly.Everything was still in it's place.It was nice"Ok guys now we do room"Lenny said"Actually I made the liberty of making a diagram of who gets which room.I decided to take the water bed for Gloria and myself"Robby said"Oo we're gonna do the back stroke tonight"Gloria said and Robby cheered"Um...ew?"I said shivering with disgust"I wanna go swimming with you guys tonight!" Sally's daughter, Donna, said"They looked at her"Oh god"I said"I didnt mean we were going swimming.What I meant was-""Okay!She doesnt need to know what you meant.I dont even know what you meant"Sally said"I do"Marcus said from the second floor and started to make puke noises"Marcus!"I said annoyed.He smirked silencing hisself"Okay how about a tour?" Deanna said trying to change the subject"Ok!" Robby said and went to the master bedroom"Ok let Lenny have that"Eric said. Roxanne rushed in right away but Lenny stopped her"Honey!Let the kids have the room.Its a fun time for them to be together and
share it,go,go,share it"Lenny said and the kids ran in excitedly. Roxanne smiled with annoyance.I sighed smiling""Jess.I gave you your room of course..but theres a small problem"Robby said
"What?"I said in an unenthusiatic tone"Well...there's no where else to put Marcus so-""No.This isnt like before...no"I said glaring
"Its fine Robby, I'll sleep on the couch"Marcus said sadly....I was silent for a while but gave in"Damn it okay but one false move Higgins and I swear...youre dead!"I said"Alright alright"Marcus said holding up his hands"I need a room with heat"said Grandma Ronzoni"Its summer.Its like 95 degrees in here!"Kurt said"There he goes again!I got bunyons!"Grandma said annoyed"You know I actually have a poletace I make,using Maize"Robby said"Just say corn.Maize is corn everybody"Marcus said"Yeah but he says Maize cuz it sounds more mystical"Kurt said mockingly"Well I like the way he said it. 'Maize"Lenny said in a nasely voice.We all laughed and said it in that tone"It's aMAZEing"I said in the nasely voice making everybody laugh.Lenny went to say it again but he laughed"Ok well, my effected area is pretty big"Said Mama Ronzoni.She pulled out her foot and her toe was HUGE!!I gasped and turned my head in disgust.Eric's son ran in the kids room screaming"Mama...I didntk now the elephant man lived in your shoe"Lenny said"How is everybody supposed to get some sleep knowin theyre under the same roof as TOE-bee Brown"Kurt said"You're steppin over the line woman"Mama Ronzoni said.....
