Ladders

DRIP DROP DRIP DROP

"That hole is starting to get annoying!" Joe screamed as she walked past the leaking roof. "Sam I'm gonna call the roof guy about this!"

"No, No, honey please it's just not worth the money! I'll fix it in a flash!"

"Sam?!" Joe cried but he had run to go find something or other and he was gone. Lizzie walked into room like a tired creepy mess at that moment. "Hon, what happened?"

"First I dropped that stupid mini mirror, it shattered. Then I stepped on some truck in the hall and fell. I get in the shower and I use honey for my shampoo and then! I looked in the linen closet and there was not a towel to be found I looked fro comb I found it but there was glue all over it!"

"Matt!" Joe screamed up the stairs.

"I swear he lives for Friday the 13ths!"

"Today's the 13th! Oh shoot! Your dad and I have that dinner date tonight with his boss,"

"Don't worry mom, I'll handle Matt. Just tell him to meet me at school and I can walk him home." Lizzie said.

"Thanks Hon," Joe said. "MATT!" She marched up the stairs and out of sight.

"Lizzie could ya move please?!" Her father came into the room carrying a ladder.

"Whoa. What's that for dad?"

"I'm fixing the roof," He answered.

"Okay . . ." He father set up the ladder and walk under it to secure the post would stay spread out.

"Dad!" Lizzie screamed.

"What?!" The Ladder slammed down on top of him and he was knocked out.

"It's bad Luck to walk under a ladder on Friday the 13th . . ."
