DM Margo's Grumpy Day
One very wet and rainy day, early in the morning. The girls were just waking up, however Margo was feeling rough from her lack of sleep. She got out of her bed and stubbed her toe on the leg of Agnes's bed! ''Ouch!'' she yelped as she went to open the curtains. ''Oh no?'' she groaned when she saw the rain outside.
''This means that I'll be bored to death'' she moaned. Margo stomped downstairs to join Edith and Agnes for breakfast. But she just ate her food in gloomy silence without saying a single word. ''What shall we do today then?'' Agnes asked. ''Not say another word!'' Margo snapped.
Gru was surprised to hear Margo snap just like that. ''What's wrong Margo?'' he questioned sincerely ''did you get out of bed on the wrong side?''. ''Maybe so'' Margo grumped ''If anyone wants me, I'll be down by the river''. ''Well don't be too long'' Gru said ''and be sure to wear your heavy rain mac''.
Margo pulled on her rain mac and her wellington boots and stormed out of the door. When she got to the river. She threw in some stones until she was board. The rain was a lot heavier now and Margo started to shiver with cold. The rain pelted down on her and dripped from her nose and hair.
She decided to go for a little walk so as to pass the time. When Margo had had enough, she started to make her way home. It was late by the time she arrived. Lucy opened the door to let her in. ''Hi sweetie'' she said ''you're looking soaked to the skin. Come in and warm up before you get a chill''.
Margo quickly followed her mum inside. ''Aah Margo just in the nick of time'' Gru said ''we're having soup for dinner tonight''. Margo sat down with her sisters. As she took the first sip, Margo suddenly realized how much better it made her feel. At bedtime when Gru came to kiss the girls goodnight. Margo was sure she couldn't have been gladder to be tucked in her warm cosy bed. ''What happened today Margo?'' Gru asked ''You sure sounded very grumpy today''.
''I couldn't sleep last night and I stubbed my toe this morning'' Margo admitted. ''Aww it'll get better little keeton'' Gru soothed stroking Margo's brown hair ''and the weather's going to be dryer tomorrow so you'll be able to do something''. He kissed her goodnight before kissing the other two goodnight.
Yawningly Margo quickly settled down to sleep for a better night's sleep. She hoped that her father was right.
