D.W.: "Mom can I do the Mentos and soda experiment?"
Jane: "No, besides you would make a mess."
D.W.: "I want to!"
Jane: "D.W., I said no and that's final!"
D.W.: "Oh just watch me I'll do it somehow."
[10 minutes later]
Jane: "Kids, me and your father are going to do some Christmas shopping for a couple hours and Grandma Thora is here to babysit you."
Arthur: "Oh okay mom. I'll be good for her."
Jane: "I know you will Arthur because you are a very well behaved boy."
D.W.: "I'll be good mom."
Jane: "That's good D.W. Oh there's Grandma Thora right now."
Grandma Thora: "Hi Jane. Hi David! Hi Arthur, D.W. and Kate!"
Arthur and D.W.: "Hi grandma!"
Baby Kate: "Hello."

Grandma Thora: "Okay dear have fun."
[David and Jane drive off to the mall]
D.W.: "Okay here is my chance."
Grandma Thora: "What are you up to, D.W.?"
D.W.: "Uh nothing."
Grandma Thora: "Oh okay then."
[Grandma Thora then walks into the living room and sits on the couch to watch her soap]
D.W.: "Now time to to run in the kitchen."
[D.W. runs into the kitchen and opens the pantry and grabs the Mentos]
D.W.: "Mentos, check, now time to grab the soda!"
[D.W. opens the refrigerator and grabs the soda]
D.W.: "Now grandma or my parents won't know about it." [laughs]
[D.W. then puts on her goggles and opens the soda and the she pours the Mentos in the soda and steps back from it]
[Then the soda explodes all over the kitchen]
D.W.: "Yes! My planned worked!"
Grandma Thora: [walks into the kitchen] "What is going on here?"
[Then Grandma Thora sees soda all over the kitchen and D.W. is in the middle of the kitchen laughing herself silly]
Grandma Thora: "Dora Winifred Read! Did you make a mess in the kitchen?"
D.W.: "Yeah and the experiment was funny!"
Grandma Thora: "I'm am very disappointed in you, you don't make messes in the kitchen."
D.W.: "Shut up grandma!"
Grandma Thora: "Don't tell me to shut up we don't use these words in this house. I'm also going to call Jane and David about your behavior"
[Grandma Thora then picks up the phone and calls Jane and David]
Jane: [on the phone] "Hello?"
Grandma Thora: "Hi Jane, it's Thora speaking."
Jane: "Hi Thora, is D.W. behaving herself?"
Grandma Thora: "Oh no she isn't she made a huge soda mess in the kitchen and told me to shut up."
Jane: "She did what? She's been wanting to do that Mentos and soda experiment and it looks like she disobeyed me."
Grandma Thora: "Yes indeed. Also, Arthur and Kate we're well-behaved."
Jane: "We'll be home in one hour."
Grandma Thora: "Okay see you then. Bye."
Jane: "Bye."
Grandma Thora: [hangs up] "You are in so much trouble, D.W.! You are also going to clean up the mess you made."

David: "And no Mary Moo Cow for a week!"
D.W.: "Yeah yeah I'll go. Bye stupid grandma!"
