"Alright, which one of you chuckleheads put ketchup in the shower head?!" Erin yelled from the bathroom. "We don't even OWN any ketchup!"
"Was Zip!" accused one of the goblins from the living room.
"Nuh-UH!" cried Zip. "Was Kipper, lady!"
"It doesn't matter who it was! It was probably Squeak anyway..." Erin called back. "Just knock it off, dangit!" She sighed and finished rinsing out the shower head and screwed it back on. Luckily, she had not actually been IN the shower when she noticed it.
This is just great. She thought to herself. Gros gets a week off and Beth gets to go take hits in San Fransisco and I'm stuck here babysitting goblins. Man, being the tech guy SUCKS sometimes.
She shook her head and exited the bathroom, going into the living room to find that the entire coffee table had been taped over with packing tape. Erin opened her mouth to speak, but then thought better of it. She closed her eyes and massaged her temples while she breathed slowly. When she looked back up, Kipper and Squeak were standing proudly beside the table, blinking up at her.
"See, lady?" said Squeak, gesturing excitedly to it, large ears flopping around as he bounced. "We wrapped the whole thing for you!" Erin stared silently at them for a moment, then gave a short laugh.
Well... She thought. If you can't beat 'em...
"Who wants to have a pillow fight??" she said, seizing a cushion from the couch. The goblins cheered.
