7. Peeping

7/Peeping After a while, the nanna took us back to Lucille's room. Me and Philip Johnny Bob got in our sleeping bag speedy fast. Then that Grace got in her sleeping bag, too. And Lucille got into her softie bed. "Not one more peep out of you girls," said the nanna very grouchy. "Do you hear me? Not one more peep." She turned off the light and shut the door. I stayed quiet a real long time. 'Cause I was scared of that woman, that's why. All of a sudden, I heard a teeny voice. "Peep!" it said. "Peep, peep, peep!" It was Lucille.

Me and that Grace giggled out loud at her. "Peep," said that Grace. "Peep," I said. Peep, said Philip Johnny Bob. Then pretty soon, all of us were peeping all over the place. "Peep, peep, peep, peep. Peep, peep, peep, peep." Lucille kept on peeping louder and louder and louder. "PEEP! PEEP! PEEP!" she said. Also, she was giggling very hard. Finally, me and that Grace sat up in our sleeping bags. We stared at that girl. "Lucille is peeping out of control," said that Grace. "Maybe she is overly tired," I said. "Overly tired makes your brain go silly."

"PEEP!" said Lucille. "PEEP! PEEP! PEEP! PEEP! PEEP!" Just then, Lucille's nanna opened the door again. "SILENCE!" she yelled real scary. Shivers came on my skin. Then all of us quick crawled under our covers again. And we closed our eyes. And we didn't say another peep.
