It was an early Monday morning and I received a text from Arin. It said, 'WE HAVE A CRISIS!' I got dressed and did all the normal things with some speed. I decided to go to the Grump's place immediately, I took my partner, Aletta, with me just in case.
When I knocked on the door. I was greeted by 5 children and a baby in which was held by the only girl. The children look at me with a scared expression. One boy had a blonde tint in his long-ish brown hair. Another was rocking a loose afro. The girl had a blonde tint in her black hair. Aletta looked at the baby and the other two boys, who had normally cut hair, and then looked at me.
This couldn't have been real, until the little girl said," Excuse me, my name is Suzy, and these are my brothers Arin, Ross, Danny, Barry and Kevin. There aren't any adults here could you take care of us? Please?"
"Umm, ok Suzy, we will do are best…" Aletta said because I would get so panicky that I'd get them confused or even make them cry. "Can I just set some ground rules, guys" I said, after, they all nodded and let me continue. I look at my partner for help though, because I didn't have a clue.
Aletta spoke to them fair but firmly. "First of all, be kind to each other. Secondly if there is any problem or issue come and talk to us. And finally don't break anything in this place, ok." She was always very good at that stuff, by stuff, I mean setting the boundaries. Kevin was crying profusely and Suzy didn't know what to do, Aletta said for the little girl to let her hold the baby.
"I'm just gonna go in to this room to make a video explaining the delay for video's in the future." I said.
"Ok, Mark, but please do hurry!" My partner called back.
I shut the door, turned on my phone's video camera and began to talk to my audience.
