SNAKES AND LADDERS
Chapter 4
Granpa's face was covered with a bowlful of ladyfingers. Slimey lquid dripped from his hair. Next Josephine found her mark. Max gave a shout as bread hit his face. He took a handful of veggies and threw them. They fell on Ray's hair.
'Oi,' said Ray, 'I had just conditioned them today.'
Soon everybody was in the food fight.
Kai left the room quitely when he saw Joanne taking part in it. Well, her aim was bad.
When he next entered the room, he saw Max, Tyson and Joanne still covered in food. He presumed Ray had gone to wash his long tresses. Josephine must have gone to the girls-bathroom to bathe.
'I can't believe that I forgot the code to the num-lock on my suitcase,' Joanne was saying.
Tyson and Max were helping her by giving her possible hints about it.
'Try 100,' suggested Tyson. 'Or 000.'
'Already did.'
'Try 007,' said Max.
Joanne stared at him.
'What?' he asked.
'I'm not that a big fan of Bond.'
'Ohk!' Max tried to think of something. 'I know,' he said slapping the floor, 'try 777. You know, Ronaldo's jersey no.'
'Already did. If you don't remember I'm good at solving puzzles and that means I already tried out normal codes like that. If you can't think of anything good better not waste your brain,' said Joanne.
'I know, let's try to break the lock with a hammer or something,' offered Tyson.
'Wait till Josephine comes out. Maybe I told her the code,' Joanne shrugged and sat down.
'Try to think of what you were doing when you locked it,' Kai said.
Max and Tyson looked at him strangely. Did Kai just say something on his own?
Joanne made an imaptient noise. 'Uhhh, its all blank. I can't remember a thing.'
'Hello, uglies. How cute am I looking?' Josephine paraded into the room wearing powder blue tee-shirt and cream shorts. 'Left you all speechless, right?'
'Got it,' shouted Joanne. 'Josephine, can I borrow your clothes for the time being? I forgot my num-lock code.'
'Yeah sure, but I wonder if you'll fit in them. You are as fat as Max, I think,' said Josephine.
'Oh Josephine don't start again,' said Joanne.
'Huh, you are jealous,' said Josephine sticking out her tongue at Joanne.
'Thanks for the clothes,' said Joanne and rushed off to take a bath.
'I tell you my siblings are jealous of my good looks,' Josephine informed the occupants of the room. 'Ouch, don't you know you are not supposed to hit girls, Max?'
'You are not a girl. You are a hag,' laughed Max. 'And I didn't hit you. I was just throwing my pillow across the room and it happened to fall on you.' Max winked.
Josephine was going to hit him back when she said, 'You know I don't feel like fighting anymore. How about taking me to the beach? Who knows I'll find some good-looking guy there. The hot surfer dude type!'
'Just let me change and then we'll go,' said Max. 'But not for that reason. Our beach is good and I want to show you girls the way.'
'Yippe,' whooped Josephine.
