It was a seemingly silent day at the Pickles family's house. Didi stood right in front of hers and Stu's niece, Angelica, just as she slipped on her lavender gloves and grabbed her dark pink purse.
"Now, Angelica, I'm going to my book club, then later on I'll be bringing home groceries from the grocery store, I want you to be nice to your innocent cousins, Tommy and Dil and not take any of their toys and things and play with them without asking while I'm gone out, your uncle and grandparents are in the dining room, but your mother and father won't be here to pick you up 'til dinner time and I don't wanna need to call them outta work early 'cause of those jokes and pranks you played on Susie 1 time, you understand that?"
Angelica saluted triumphantly. "You can count on me, Aunt Didi, Tommy, Dil, Chuckie, Kimi, Phil, Lil and Susie will have the best entertaining adventures with me."
Right before Didi walked right out the front door, she said to her, "Just don't use any of those chocolate fudge cookies for ice cream sandwiches, we're using those for s'mores making." Didi then walked right out the front door.
