Bonnie's New Home

[robehouse]

"I would say by a few epochs or eras. That is

[baby_snow_white]

Hannah looks at Tracy. "What are epochs and eras mommy?"

Jimmy looks around. "Is it safe to go with you? We wouldn't want to run into the evil queen. She might use her magic to change us into something else."

[robehouse]

"They are basically the same thing, periods of time in history. Or prehistory. Like the Paleozoic era. Like certain dinosaurs came from one period while other dinosaurs came from another, and finally humans came last of all."

"If I'm there to protect you it should be alright, but I can just bring your juice back to you."

[baby_snow_white]

"Which era is the Flintstones from? Their song says they are a modern stone age family?"

Hannah nods. "Ok if you are there. You should be able to counter act Bonnie's magic."

[robehouse]

"They are from the stone age. It lasted over 6 million years if you believe scientists. It lasted through the Paleolithic era and then some."

"Alright, if you want to you can sit on Jimmy's lap and I'll push you both, or you can walk beside Jimmy."

[baby_snow_white]

"I would love to have the shower in the bathroom. It would be fun to be squirted by an elephant and the trash compactor was a pig. They will eat anything that doesn't eat them first."

Hannah looks at Jimmy and then Tracy. She climbs in on Jimmy's lap. "Why walk when you can ride and save your legs?"

[robehouse]

"That's true, but i would feel I would still need a shower after an elephant squirted me like that. I'm sure their trunks are clean, but I would still feel like I would need another shower. They also had a saber tooth tiger as a pet cat. That would be cool, as long as it didn't eat you."

Tracy pushed the wheelchair over to the elevator and pushed the wheelchair inside. She closed the door and pressed the button for the first floor.

"It is so convenient having this elevator. It will save my legs and get us downstairs faster."

[baby_snow_white]

Hannah giggled. "Of course their trunks are clean. You wouldn't want to put your clothes in one if it is dirty. Your clothes would get dirty too."

Jimmy smiles. "I'm not sure I would want a saber tooth tiger. It would be hard to brush it's teeth after every meal. A regular tigers is tough enough and they have normal size teeth."

Hannah smiles. "I had forgot we had an elevator. Jimmy has been crawling up the stairs and sliding down on his bottom. I bet that would make it easier for him to go up and down."

Jimmy giggles. "You think?"

[robehouse]

"I guess they are always ready to go swimming since they have their trunks."

"It seems like it would be easier to brush them, since the saber teeth are a lot longer, and you wouldn't have to go in their mouth to brush them."

Tracy nodded.

"I didn't know until Jayme showed me one day. I was surprised to know that. I don't usually use them though. You should be able to get up and downstairs a lot faster and with a lot less work, Jimmy."

When they reached the bottom, Tracy pushed the wheelchair out of the elevator and headed to the kitchen.

[baby_snow_white]

Hannah laughs. "Good one mommy. I didn't think about that."

Yeah, but their long teeth are sharper than a regular tiger's teeth."

"Yes I should be able to get up and down faster."

Mary steps out and blocks the way. "Halt. Who goes there." She sees Hannah. "This is a Hannah free zone by order of the queen Bonnie the Wonderful. Go back to cave ogre."

Hannah puts her hands on her hips. "You really have no idea where Ogres live you do? I don't live in a cave. I live in the swamp in a house made out of a tree trunk. If you are going to insult me. Do it right."

[robehouse]

"yeah, I wouldn't want my hand anywhere near their saber teeth."

"Step aside Mary. I supersede Bonnie, as I am your mother. If you don't want to spend the rest of the day in your room, then I suggest you go back to Bonnie. Tell her this elevator is off limits to all of you girls but Hannah, and no one is to get on it, or stop Hannah or Jimmy from using it. If she has any problems, come see me."

Tracy moved Mary out of the way and escorted Hannah and Jimmy to the kitchen.

"Would you like some cookies with your juice?"

[baby_snow_white]

Mary shakes her head. "No not the elevator. The kitchen. That is part of the no Hannah zone in the house. Bonnie could careless about Jayme's elevator. After they pass her. Mary runs off to tell Bonnie about what happened.

Bonnie nods. "Yes I have a problem with that." She gets up and goes downstairs to wait on Tracy to come out.

Jimmy nods. "Do you have any Goldfish or Cheez-It?"

[robehouse]

"This whole house is under my control. I am in charge of you girls, so Bonnie has to listen to me."

"I'll check. We should have one or the other."

Tracy checks the cupboard and finds a large box of goldfish. She takes it out and gives Jimmy and Hannah some in bowls.

[baby_snow_white]

Mary shakes her head. "That isn't what Bonnie said. She said the house is her house and she lets all of us live here. Including the monster named Hannah. She said every house had a monster in it to keep things from being boring. She said if she wanted to. She could get rid of all of us and live here alone with servants. "

Jimmy smiles as he bits the tails off. "Now they can't swim out of the fish bowl."

[robehouse]

"Well she can't. She isn't an adult and would have no legal grounds to kick anyone out. She doesn't have to worry about Hannah, she doesn't want to be around Bonnie either."

Tracy smiles.

"No I guess they can't. It's kind of hard to swim without tails."

[baby_snow_white]

"She said she doesn't have to be one. When the judge gave her the house. It gave her all the legal ground she needed. Because the judge is a legal person.

"Yes it is. If you take a mermaid's tail or hold into it. She can't swim either."

[robehouse]

"He gave her the house whenever she is of age. right now she is too young, so I am in control of it."

"I never knew that. Then again. I have never met a real live mermaid."

[baby_snow_white]

"That isn't what Bonnie said. She said he didn't put an age limit on it. He just gave it to her."

Hannah looks surprised. "You have never met a real mermaid? We have one living in the pool in the backyard. Her name is Mera. She is very shy and hides when Bonnie and the others are outside. Because they are too loud and it scares her."

[robehouse]

"Well Bonnie doesn't know everything. Has she read over the papers?"

"She must hide when I am outside too, as I have never seen her. Maybe someday you can introduce us."

[baby_snow_white]

Mary shrugs. "I don't know if she can read or not."

Hannah nods. "She probably does. She doesn't like loud noises or people talking loudly. It hurts her ears."

[robehouse]

"She is probably taking someone else's word for it then."

"How did she get into our pool? Wouldn't she like it better in the sea? I would think Mermaids would prefer to be around sea animals like whales and dolphins."

[baby_snow_white]

Mary shrugs. "Who knows, but I know I don't want to get on her bad side.

Jimmy thought for a moment. "She fell into our pool when an eagle sneezed and dropped her from his claws."

[robehouse]

"No one is asking you to get on her bad side."

"That's too bad. It must have been a large eagle. I didn't know eagles sneezed, but I guess they must."

[baby_snow_white]

Mary nods. "Yes you are. You are telling me to ignore Bonnie's orders and that will get me on Bonnie's bad side. If I do that. I will be no different than Hannah and no one wants that. She is evil and a meanie."

Hannah shrugs. "I don't know how big it was. Mera is the one who told us how she got here."

Jimmy nods. "Yes everyone sneezes. Some just sneeze more often and more loudly. An elephant would sneeze louder than a mouse."

[robehouse]

"Hannah is not evil or a meanie. Those titles belong to Bonnie. She needs to back off of Hannah. You don't have to ignore Bonnie's orders, just tell her I told you to leave Hannah alone."

"That's true. An elephant has a large nose and a mouse has a tiny nose. Although that doesn't always mean a person with a small nose will have a small sneeze."
