Marlee Calls In "Sick"

Marlee and her friends were so tired. Halloween was a busy busy time for Marleewood. Some of Marlee's new friends said it was too much work and went back home. Marlee said good-bye to Joshua and Laila. They wanted to go back home and not go to work everyday.
 Emma was being kept busy with music class and lots of fun things to do at home, so she wasn't going to be back on a regular basis. The same for Hannah. Hannah had helped a lot at Marleewood, but she also had another job helping her dad, so she wasn't coming back.
Marlee didn't want to go to work today so she used her video-pager and called in sick. She wasn't a bit sick, only sick of working. Hmm, I don't think that is the thing to do. I think she needed to talk to the Grandmas and get new friends to help at Marleewood. Charlie had once again ordered lots of things to sell at Christmas time. The new merchandise would be coming in any day so they needed to find some help. But instead of that she decided she wanted to go to Grandma B's house and play and watch cartoons.
Grandma B had other ideas for her little granddaughter. Laying around and not doing activities is not good for two year olds. They need to be kept busy so they can learn by doing new things. Marlee's family had purchased her something new; magic pills! Yes, Magic Pills. Grandma B put Marlee in her highchair with a glass of water. In the package were twelve (12) pills. Marlee dropped them in the water one pill at a time and Presto! A cute little animal appeared. How fun. Look at the colors; green, blue, pink, and another color, can you see more than three (3) colors?
When she was finished playing with the magic pills, she said that she was hungry. So B asked her if she would like to go to the cafe and eat this morning for something different to do. Marlee said that would be fun. So she helped get herself dressed, face washed, hair combed and away they went. She ordered breakfast at the cafe. As you can see the eggs were not to her liking. She liked the way that Grandma B made scrambled eggs. Remember her recipe?
They decided that they would go home and take a nap. Before Marlee could go to sleep she got a call on her video-pager. It was Charlie. There was trouble at Marleewood. Charlie had a smile on her face, but I don't think she was happy.
Once again, Charlie sounded upset. I wonder what happened. We shall see next time.
