“Let’s celebrate!” laughed Granny Mae. She and Carly were dancing around.

“We’ll eat cake and cookies and candy,” said Carly.

Grandma Hunter crossed her arms. “I don’t agree with all those sweets,” she said. “We did just have supper.”

Granny Mae wrinkled her nose. “Well, if the kids just ate, then it’s time for dessert.”

“Hoo-ray!” cheered Carly.

Abby glanced at Shawn. She felt like a total jitterbox.

Then Shawn joined Carly in a jig with Granny Mae.

“Excuse me!” Grandma Hunter made an attempt to be heard. “I’m quite certain the children are NOT hungry. And too many sweets aren’t good.”

Rats! thought Abby. She wanted to party!

Before Grandma Hunter could say more, Granny Mae opened her bag of sweets.

Carly and Shawn peeked inside. “Goody!” said Carly.

“Candy sticks and candy bars,” said Shawn. “Yummies for my tummy.”

Just then Jimmy appeared in the hallway. He’d changed jeans and washed his hands. Now he spied the sweets. “I want chocolate!” he shouted.

“No shouting indoors, please,” Grandma Hunter warned.

“Sorry,” Jimmy said. But he hurried over to get his candy from Granny Mae.

Abby took her time choosing a chocolate bar. Carefully, she unwrapped the paper and bit into it. Any other day, it would have tasted great. Today, she was too upset to enjoy it.

“Let’s sit at the table,” Grandma Hunter suggested.

The kids headed for the kitchen.

“Let’s relax in the family room,” Granny Mae said.

The kids turned toward the family room.

“No . . . no,” said Grandma Hunter. “We don’t want to soil the nice furniture.”

Abby turned back to the kitchen.

“We’ll be careful,” Carly said.

“We not make mess,” Jimmy said. But his mouth was already dribbling pink goo.

Abby turned back toward the family room.

“I think we better play it safe,” Grandma Hunter said. She waved for the kids to go into the kitchen.

Granny Mae nodded and followed.

By now Abby felt dizzy.

This way. That way.

Which way?

After all, Dad had said, “Obey your grandmother.”

The problem was, he didn’t say which one!

It was like a game where no one wins.

A granny game. No fun!
