Mrs Miracle Page #4

When it tastes like this, they do.

Well, l'll take that as a compliment.

Here's a question for you.

Who can clear off this table the fastest?

Okay, l'll begin a count.

One, two, three, four, five.

l'll get it, honey. Thanks.

That's a good job. Thank you.

Nicely done.

What, did you buy a ticket to this show?

Thanks.

-Good night, Dad! Good night!

-Good night, Dad! Good night!

Good night, guys!

-You guys all set?

-Did you see how we cleaned up?

Yeah, you did a great iob.

But then Mrs. Miracle made us take a bath.

Mrs. Merkle, you mean.

That's what he said, Mrs. Miracle.

And you know what else?

Mrs. Miracle said we have to brush our teeth

before she'll read to us.

Well, that sounds about right to me.

-But, Dad!

-But, Dad!

But what? No buts, all right?

You guys listen to Mrs. Merkle. Okay?

-Okay, you two, come on. Scoot, scoot.

-All right, time for bed.

-Love you.

-Love you, too.

-Love you, buddy.

-Love you, too.

Okay.

Man.

You know,

l hardly ever read to them anymore.

And when l do, l fall asleep.

Come on, don't be hard on yourself.

You've had your hands full.

Yeah, l guess.

You know what you might need?

A little time for yourself.

What is that? l don't even think about that.

Of course you don't.

You know, l'm sorry.

l didn't even show you to your room.

No, it's all right. The boys settled me in.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Okay. Well, then,

l guess we should probably talk

about references, and schedules,

and all that stuff.

Mrs. Miracle! Come on! We're waiting!

My audience awaits.

l guess we can talk

about it another time then.

Okay. Here l come!

Mrs. Miracle!

You're supposed to sit over here.

-You sit here next to me!

-No! l called dibs first!

-She should sit over here on my bed!

-Okay, then l get to pick the story.

Settle down, boys.

We'll find one you both like.

Mrs. Miracle.

Actually, well, we are on schedule.

There is a new schedule that came out after

with the revised plans

that accounted for the new additions

that you requested.

Hi. Yeah, this is Seth Webster

calling for Mrs. Ackerman again.

She's not in.

Okay, do you know when she'll be back?

Boys, come on.

Hold my hand.

No, it's not urgent. l iust wanted to check in

with her about our new housekeeper.

Okay, thanks.

That was wonderful, children!

Now as you know,

today we have auditions

for the speaking parts in this year's pageant.

We have a number of roles to fill.

There are shepherds, and reindeer,

and angels, so don't worry.

You'll each have your moment

in the spotlight.

And remember,

when it's your turn to audition,

l want you to give it everything you've got.

Let them hear you in the back row,

and remember, say it with feeling!
