You've got to be kidding me!

Maxine, Sue & Maddy arrived home from a trip to the mall expecting to find that the nursery had been painted. After all how much trouble could 5 grown men get into painting one small room?

Sue - Max, don't be alarmed but the paramedics have just pulled in behind us.

M - who do you think is hurt? Rick or RJ?

Sue - It'll be Rick for sure! (grinning)

M - I hope not! (chuckling) That man is on a first name basis with every ER doctor at Miami General!

Sue - No matter what happens when we go in that front door I want you to remain calm!

M - I'll be as calm as I was the day he got himself stuck in the tree in the backyard!

Sue - (laughing) Max honey, you threatened to cut the tree down while he was still in it! That was not you being calm.

M - It got the rescue units working faster to get him down didn't it?

Sue - No, that would have been the sight of you going into the tool shed and coming back out carrying a chainsaw that inspired them to greatness!

Ma - Mummy has Daddy done something silly again?

M - We don't know for sure honey. Let's go inside and find out shall we!

Meanwhile the occupants inside the house were panicking! They hadn't expected the women folk to be home so soon!

Ch - RJ we have a problem

RJ - Another one?

Ch - Ah yep! This one's bigger than the first one!

Cl - (looking out the front window) Hells bells! The paramedics have just pulled in behind the women! What are we gonna do?

AN - Chris calm down. My daughter can smell fear at fifty paces!

RJ - (taking charge) Here's what we're gonna do. Charlie & Chris you go unload the SUV for the women. Alexander you try and keep the girls in the kitchen while the paramedics take care of Rick!

Ch - And what are you going to do?

RJ - Well, I'll be here with Rick acting as his last line of defence! It will be my job to stop Max from tearing him a new arse any time soon! Unless of course one of you lot want to take my place!

AN - No thanks. I'll leave it up to you. (leaving the room)

Ch - Better you than me, my friend. Come on Chris let's go!

Cl - (from the doorway) I'll pray for you!

Rick - How am I gonna explain this to Max (pointing down at his foot)

RJ - I don't know son. How do you explain getting your foot wedged inside a paint tin!

The end.
