DING!

The elevator door opened and the kids, Jessie and I walked into the penthouse. Bertram was on the couch reading his 'Butler Beat' magazine. Jessie looked at her watch. It was 11:30.

"OMG!" Jessie said. "I have to go get ready for my lunch date with Tony! Abygail and Bertram, can you watch the kids please?"

"Sure." Bertram said without looking up from his magazine.

"No problameo." I said as I followed Jessie upstairs to help her get ready for her date.

Jessie and the kids ran upstairs, each going to their own room. Jessie changed quickly. Then she did her hair and makeup and grabbed her purse and jacket. She checked on each kid to see what they were doing and to say 'goodbye.' Zuri was having a tea party with Chubby the Bear, Luke was on his laptop, Ravi was playing with Mr. Kipling and Emma was laying on her bed reading the newest issue of 'Leopard Beat' magazine. After Jessie said to 'goodbye' to each kid, we went downstairs and told Bertram what the kids were doing.

"Bertram, don't forget to make the kids lunch!" Jessie said, as she got into the elevator. "Oh and Abs, feel free to hang out in the penthouse and hang with the kids.

"On it!" Bertram said, starting to sit up.

"OK!" I said, as the elevator doors closed.
