Mom: It’s there to keep your toys safe, Missy.

Mom: Look at this! The work of Grodies.

Missy: I thought I just ripped it without noticing.

Mom: Nope! Grodies did it!

Mom: They pull the stuffing from your plushies

Mom: then fill them up with dirt and rotten onions!

Missy: OH THAT’S GROSS!

Mom: Lucky the Grodies didn’t get that far, huh?

Mom: If they had, your room would smell awful!

Missy puts her toys in her toy box.

Mom: Speaking of which…

Mom: How long have you had these dirty dishes here?

Mom: Grodies love dirty dishes.

Mom: They use the grime to grow mold gardens…

Mom: which they water with their spit!

Missy: Uck! That’s awful!

Mom: I’ll take care of the dishes.

Mom: You need to make your bed.
