Laverne was the first to wake up. Through hungover eyes, she discovered that she and Shirley were lying in their water-filled bathtub together—with their clothes on! They were lying across from each other, heads at their feet. They wore their dresses and hose, but not their shoes.
"What did we do, last night!," she said to herself.
She tickled Shirley's feet. "Hey, Shirl, wake up!"
She awoke and looked around. "What are we doing in the tub with all our clothes on?!"
"That's just what I was wondering! Remember anything about last night?"
She thought. "We were at Rosie's party. . . but no."
"Me, neither. Well, let's get up."
"OK."
They tried to get up, but their hangovers were too much for them.
"I can't do it."
"Neither can I, Shirl! Let's just lie here, a bit."
"OK. She looked at herself. "This dress cost me $9"
"Mine cost me $11! At least we didn't wear our shoes."
"True."
They lied in the water for a bit.
"My memory is starting to come back, now," said Shirley. "I think I know what happened:"
2. How it Happenned
It was after midnight when the girls stumbled in.
"Rosie throwz a good party!," said Laverne.
"She shor doez!"
They plopped on the couch and kicked their shoes off.
Laverne fanned herself. "Itz so hot! I think I'll take a cold bath before going to bed.:
"You do that."
She got up and went to the bathroom.
Shirley relaxed for a few minutes, and even fell asleep. But then she woke up and went into the bathroom to check on Laverne.
She was asleep in the tub with her clothes on!
"Tha's a good idea! I think I'll join you."
She went over to the tub and got in with her. Soon, she was also asleep.

Laverne nodded. "my memory's coming back, too. That's pretty much what happened."
"Let's get up, now."
"OK, Shirl."
They got out of the tub and drained it, then they dried off for a bit.
"I'll bet you don't often take a bath with your clothes on!," joked Shirley.
Laverne laughed. "Nope!"
They went into the bedroom, changed into their pajamas, and slept until med-afternoon.
