Mom’s not home
Now, the moms went out to buy things.
The three little friends glanced at each other.
Rocky said, “Fridge!”
Elvis took out a jar of jam from the fridge, then threw a sausage in and stirred it, sprinkling some salt.
Rocky and Elvis tasted it, sticking out their tongues and saying, “Bleh! Bleh! Too salty!”
They scooped the sauce into a flowerpot.
Lancy looked back at the fridge again, “There are cooked potatoes here.”
Rocky said, “We can use the coffee maker to mash them into mashed potatoes!”
Soon, the potatoes turned into mashed potatoes.
Rocky said, “We also need to clean the coffee maker.” Saying that, he brought a sock. But… the sock got mixed into the coffee maker!
“Oh no, this is terrible!” Lancy said, hiding the coffee maker behind the curtain.
Next, they found Rocky’s mom’s lipstick in the bedroom.
The three of them each put on lipstick, then kissed all the mirrors and the white cushions on the couch.
Lancy said satisfied, “Now, these cushions don’t look so dull anymore.”
At that moment, the moms came back. The three little friends pretended to be playing with stuffed animals.
The moms asked, “Kids, have you been good?”
The three answered together, “Of course.”
Rocky’s mom said, “Let’s use the coffee maker to grind coffee and have a drink!”
Suddenly, there was a scream from the kitchen, followed by another scream from the living room.
Soon, the moms were all furious, shouting, “Unbelievable! What have you all done?”
Rocky’s mom said angrily, “My beautiful vintage coffee maker is full of oily yarn! And my expensive socks are ruined too!”
Lancy quickly said, “It wasn’t us.”
Rocky’s mom asked, “Then who did it?”
The three little friends each tried to explain:
“A red-haired monkey came here just now.”
“He brought a brand new coffee maker.”
“He wanted to sell his own coffee maker, so he broke yours.”
The moms didn’t believe them, “Not a word of truth! You even poured jam into the flowerpot!”
Lancy said, “That monkey said, these plants have grown up, maybe they not only need water but also something to eat.”
Rocky’s mom said, “Oh… I guess the monkey also took my lipstick and messed up the white cushions?”
Rocky said, “That’s right!”
Rocky’s mom continued, “You shouldn’t open the door to strangers!”
Elvis said, “But he came in through the window. The window was open—look!”
Lancy and Rocky looked at him with admiration.
But the moms didn’t believe the little friends’ words, they shook their heads and went back inside. Everything was quiet.
The little friends played on the balcony for a while, feeling a little hungry.
They went into the kitchen. The moms were sitting at the table eating delicious snacks.
Rocky shouted, “We’re hungry too.”
Lancy’s mom kindly said, “There’s nothing left.” As she said that, she put the last piece of snack into her mouth.
Rocky’s mom smiled and said, “The food is in the fridge, but the fridge door is locked…”
Elvis’s mom said, “That red monkey who sells coffee makers is back, and he came in through the window again.”
Lancy’s mom added, “Yeah, he heard that we didn’t want the coffee maker, so he sold us the lock.”
Rocky’s mom said, “He demonstrated how to use the lock with the fridge, then ran off with the key through the window.”
Rocky, Lancy, and Elvis stood there, mouths agape in astonishment.
Rocky said, “B-b-but, that’s not true…”
Elvis’s mom asked, “Why isn’t it true?”
Elvis stuttered, “Because… because…”
Lancy admitted, “There’s no monkey at all.”
Lancy’s mom asked, “Oh, he’s something you made up, isn’t he?”
The three little friends sighed and nodded, admitting it.
The moms asked, “So, did you make this mess here?”
The three little friends nodded, their faces red, saying, “We’re sorry.”
Rocky’s mom said, “Well… now we can open the fridge and find you something to eat. And then you need to clean up.”
The moms said, “Doing wrong things can’t be covered up with lies, remember?”
The little friends nodded, “We know!”
