The Dunk Tank

by Dougie Zerts

Remember the episode where the family rents a dunk tank, and Alice the maid ends up in it? This is an extra little scene they could've added to it.

A soaked Alice walked to the back door of the house. She slipped her shoes off, then she walked in.

Mrs Brady was in the kitchen, preparing dinner. She looked at Alice in shock.

"Hi, Mrs B."

"What happened to you, Alice?"

"You know that thingee you have in the back yard?"

"Oh, you mean the dunk tank."

"Yeah, that's it. Well, it dunked me! It was kinda fun, actually!" She giggled.

Mrs Brady smiled. "Stay right where you are, Alice; I'll be right back."

"OK."

Mrs Brady left. A few seconds later, she came back with a large beach towel.

"Here."

"Thanks, Mrs B."

"Where are your shoes?"

"Oh, I left them outside on the porch. I'll get them when they've dried."

"That's fine. Now, you'd better change your clothes!"

"Right away, Mrs B!" She went towards her room.

Mrs Bradley smiled. "Now, I have seven children!"
