An Empty Kitchen Part 3
First, Charlie went into his sons' bedroom to wake his other sons.
"Henry, Stanley, Flip, Scooter," Charlie whispered to four out of his five sleeping boys. "it is time to wake up and get dressed."
Henry, Stanley, Flip, and Scooter all got out of their beds and Scooter noticed that Alan was still fast asleep.
"Alan, Alan," Scooter whispered shaking his older brother awake. "it is time to wake up."
Alan just shifted onto his right hand side, "Wǒ háishì hěn kùn." he answered Scooter in Chinese with a yawn.
"Just let Alan sleep, Scooter," Henry advised. "the rest of us must get dressed."
"Okay, Henry." Scooter sighed.
"Good, and while the five of you are dressing," Charlie whispered to his sons. "I am going to wake Nancy & Mimi."
"Okay, Pop." Flip said.
Alan yawned as his four brothers dressed and his father went into his sisters' bedroom.
Charlie then went into his daughters' bedroom to wake his other daughters.
"Nancy, Mimi," Charlie whispered to two out of his three sleeping girls. "it is time to wake up and get dressed."
Nancy and Mimi both got out of their beds and Mimi noticed that Anne was still fast asleep.
"Anne, Anne," Mimi whispered shaking her older sister awake. "it is time to wake up."
Anne just shifted onto her left hand side, "Wǒ háishì hěn kùn." she answered Mimi in Chinese with a yawn.
"Just let Anne sleep, Mimi," Charlie advised. "both of you must get dressed."
"Okay, Pop." Mimi sighed.
Nancy & Mimi quickly got dressed and raced down the stairs to meet up with their father, brothers, and older sister.
"Anne still in dreamland?" Suzie asked Nancy & Mimi.
"Don't worry, Suzie," Mimi answered. "she is."
