9 year old Michelle Tanner was watching TV when suddenly her 4 year old cousins Nicky and Alex ran in to room.
"Michelle, Michelle!" they called and ran to her.
"What is it guys?" she asked.
"Michelle, let's play hide and seek!" they said. Michelle sighed. Yesterday she played with them for whole day and now that she was finally alone they were here again.
"I'm sorry but Michelle is watching TV now. Michelle doesn't want to play hide and seek," she said.
"Yes she does..." Alex said and both twins looked at Michelle smiling.
"No, she doesn't," Michelle said calmly.
"Yes she does," said Nicky and Alex nodded.
"No she doesn't," Michelle said firmly.
"Yes she does!" said both twins at the same time pretending that they are crying.
Michelle sighed. "Alright, I'll play hide and seek with you two." Twins started cheering and both ran out of the living room. Michelle sighed again. "How could I fall for that old trick?" she said and then started to count.
Later Michelle came to her room where Stephanie was doing her homework. "I finally escaped from them," she said as she lied on her bed.
"Well little sis, now you understand what is it like when little kids are bugging you all day," Stephanie said.
Michelle didn't comment that and was quite for a bit when she remembered.
"Hey Stephanie, weren't you the one who invented the crying routine?"
Stephanie looked from her homework. "Yeah, I remember that. When I was around 5 I used to do it all the time to make Uncle Jesse to play with me. And then you copied it from me of course." She returned to her homework then after few moments turned back to Michelle. "How comes you are asking?"
"Well, it looks like someone else learned that trick now," Michelle said.
Before Stephanie could ask her what is she talking about twins ran in to room. "Michelle! Stephy! Let's play horsey!" they said as they ran in the middle of room.
"I'm sorry but we are busy doing our homework. We don't want to play horsey right now," Stephanie said.
"Yes you do," said Nicky while Michelle sighed. She wasn't in the mood for this again and there is no way she is going to fall for that. "No we don't," she said firmly.
"Yes you do," Alex said.
"No we don't!" Michelle and Stephanie said at the same time.
"Yes you do," Alex and Nicky said and pretended to cry.
Sisters looked at each other and then said together: "Ok, we'll play horsey!"
Twins climbed of them and as they were crawling around the room Stephanie said. "I can't believe I actually fell for that again. I invented this thing!" Michelle nodded. "I know! And I already did it twice today."
None of them knew that Jesse was watching them. "Well," he thought. "Now they can experience how is it like to be on the other side of crying routine."
However, next morning when Jesse was doing some work twins found new target.
"Daddy let's play!"
