"good as you all can read what is the last two rules" they look down at the list
"wearing suitable clothing while here and... clean hygiene at all times. Do we have to" Cheryl said
"Yes you do. The elderly here can be prone to infections and virus"
"what happen if we don't obey these rules"

"what if we can't ford it" Cheryl asked
"Well if you can afford your smokes, alcoholic and make up you can affords clothing. I can get you an address of second had shop"
"no way I'm wearing second hand clothes" Cheryl said
"Rules are rules and with you coming in here looking like a hooker, the residents going to love teasing you, now follow me so you can start your community service and when you see your parents tell them to be here at ten tomorrow morning so they can start if they don't show up they know what will happen" then she turn and walk down to a room so the bird family follow.
They spent two hours in the rest home before Helen let them go home. After they left Helen went to talk to the residents that she assign each of the four to before she fill out the report and sending it to the judge Secretary.
Week later bird call Helen to find out how things are there. "Jessica I'm please you called"
"what wrong Helen"
"your family"
"what happen"
"your parents hasn't shown up to do there community service"
"Have you spoken to the judge"
"I was just about to call him since I received an e-mail from him"
"ok you could suggest to the judge that he gives them one more warning, if they don't show up have there benefit stop till they completed there community service"
"you think it will work"
"Yes it would, how are the others doing"
"They not listening when it comes to hygiene and appearances"
"I suppose they show up smelling of smoke or alcohol on there breath"
"Yes they are"
"give them a warning and talk to the judge about you having a third of there benefit money and that you take each of them in to town while the others work. Take them shopping. It one way of teaching them, that and get them bars of soap. If they show up wearing the same clothers, I sure the reserdences would love to give them a hose down. Then they wont have much of a choice be to wear different clean clothing."
"Good idea Jessica, I'll talk to the judge about it"
"Ok. So dose the residents know who they are"
"Yes and they been giving your brothers and sister hell all week. Tell them what they think of your brothers and sister. Mr Johnson was giving Fred an ear full the other day"
"Sargent coming out of Mr Johnson"
"Yep and Fred couldn't handle it so he swore at Mr Johnson"
"what did Mr Johnson do?"
"squirt him in the mouth with soapy water telling Fred he needs his mouth rinse out with soap and water" bird laugh Helen told bird about what happen to the others for the next few minutes before they hung up.
