To Grandmother's House We Go Page #2

you are gonna get it.

I can't believe it. Sludgee-babe's a mom.

A real mom who could get

you in big trouble.

-Hello, Eddie.

-Make him go to his room.

If you send me to my room...

...then you won't get your package.

Sounds like a present.

Girls, it's from Edgemont...

...from your Great-Grandma Mimi.

Let's see what's inside.

"Dear Sarah and Julie...

...I love you lots and miss you bunches.

Come visit me for Christmas.

We're having a big carnival.

Love, Grandma Mimi."

-Can we go?

-Yeah, Mommy, let's go.

Come on, Mom, we gotta go.

There's a carnival and everything.

Girls, I'm sorry, but we're not

going anywhere on Christmas.

Why not?

Because I said so.

Don't you hate it when your mommy

answers like that?

Eddie, nobody asked.

-I hope it's the Princess Penny doll.

-Girls...

-...can't you wait till Christmas morning?

-No.

Gee whiz.

They're like piranhas, aren't they?

Sign right here.

You know, Rhonda, you never mentioned

your little roommates.

-You got a problem with kids?

-No. No, kids are great...

...after they're all grown up.

Look what we got.

Oh, girls, aren't those pretty?

I bet Grandma Mimi made them.

No money.

Well, I gotta roll.

Kids, huh? Boy.

See you, Rhonda.

Eddie, this is the first time

you didn't hit on me.

-I gotta go.

-Come on, girls.

Stacey will watch you while I'm at work.

Girls.

That was for killing Frosty.

Napkins in your laps.

Tell Stacey thank you for the brownies.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Now, don't make a mess.

May I help you, Barney?

Don't even think about it.

Look, Matthew's up.

Hi, baby.

-Look.

-Oh, Stace, he's gotten so big.

Hey.

Hey, are you feeling okay?

You don't look so hot.

Nobody looks good in these things.

Come on, Rhonda.

I mean, we tell each other everything.

What's up?

Oh, Stace.

I couldn't tell the girls

I have to work Christmas Day.

Maybe I'll take them with me.

What's more fun than spending Christmas

at a convenience store?

We can hang tinsel

on the Sludgee machine.

-Barney!

-Oh, no.

-What now? Girls!

-Barney!

Come back with my brownie.

-Stop that dog! He's getting slobber on it.

-Girls. Look at this mess.

Barney ate my brownie!

Mine's in his mouth.

Do you have any more?

No, that was the last one.

-Get him!

-Get him!

Girls, don't break anything.

-He's getting away!

-Grab his tail.

-I'm sorry.

-Don't worry about it. You go to work.

-I'll clean that up.

-No, that's okay. I got it.

I'll bring you back some milk too.

This just never stops.

It's, "Girls, eat your dinner.

Girls, get in the bath, get out of the bath.

Girls, go to sleep.

I mean it, girls, go to sleep."

Every time I turn around, Sarah and Julie

are into some kind of trouble.

You know, you need a vacation.

I would love a vacation.

Sometimes, Sarah and Julie

are such a handful.

All I want for Christmas is just

a couple of days by myself.

No girls, no Sludgees, no nothing.

Julie, come here.

-You'll be okay.

-We made Mommy cry.

That's because we're a handful.

Bye, girls. I'm going to work.

Please stay out of trouble,

at least until I get back.

Here are my keys, Stace,

in case they need more toys.

-Okay.

-Bye, Rhonda.

-Bye, Mommy.

-I gotta feed the baby, okay?

Mommy wants a vacation from us.

We could go to Grandma Mimi's house

for Christmas.

Good idea. Let's do it.

How do we get to Grandma's house?

Do I have to think of everything?

Now, come on.

Don't forget some clean underwear.

Switch.

I'll leave Mommy's presents here.

Let's go, Julie.

Grandma, here we come.

On your mark, get set, we're out of here.

See you later.

Where are you going?

-Grandma lives this way.

-No, Grandma lives this way.

-You'll be sorry.

-No, you'll be sorry.

No, you'll be sorry.

Okay, big shot,

I'll call you from Grandma's.

Wait! Wait, Sarah. Wait!

Wait, Sarah.

Wait, Sarah. Wait.

Maybe next time you'll listen.

So come on, Julie.

We're not allowed to cross the street.

That's why I said:

We're cruising to Grandma's.

I hate going uphill.

-Keep pedaling. Don't give up.

-Oh, no.

-Are we there yet?

-I don't think so.

That's our next-door neighbor.

Hi, Mr. Johnson.

We're back where we started.

This is not working.

That is very lucky.

Let's go.

Don't let the driver see you.

Go in the back door.

-Try to look really small.

-I am really small.

Girls?

Sarah?

Julie?

Girls, if you're playing hide-and-go-seek,

I give up.

Please be somewhere.

-Stop 'N' Grab.

-You're gonna kill me.

I can't find the girls.

I looked everywhere for them.

You're gonna kill me.

I'm not gonna kill you.

I'm sure they're just outside playing.

Look, I'll be home as soon as I can.

Let's just stay calm.

Okay.

Everybody out!

Right now! We're closed.

Get out. Come on. Come on, let's go.

Let's go. Come on, little boy, let's go.

-What did we do?

-Come on.

Come on, I've got a crisis. Out. Now.

-Hey, I said, get out.

-I'm still looking.

-Come on.

-It's a 24-hour store.

-You're not supposed to close.

-Not today. Come on.

And now, for today's weather report.

It's going to be partly cloudy today,

with a high of 65. Or maybe not.

No snow flurries today.

-Back to you, Bill.

-My name isn't Bill.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Just practicing.

You never know when they

may need a new weather girl.

Does this bus go to Grandma's house?

I don't know. Where does Grandma live?

She lives in Edgemont.

That's three hours away.

This bus just goes downtown...

...then it goes uptown,

then back downtown.

-Get the idea?

-We're on the wrong bus.

Hope you get to Grandma's.

Merry Christmas, girls.

Merry Christmas, lady.

A very Merry Christmas, lady.

I beat you again.

-You got a problem.

-No, you got a problem.

-No, you got a problem.

-No, you got a problem.

-No, you got a problem.

-No, you got a problem.

-You are getting on my nerves.

-You are getting on my nerves.

-Don't start that again.

-You started it.

They packed their bags. They took

their money. Why would they run away?

We better call the police.

Yeah, you're right.

Hey, did you just drop a chicken bone

in my case?

There's still some meat on there.

Well, okay.

Merry Christmas.

Hey, it's Princess Penny!

We gotta go in there.

We gotta go to Grandma's.

But it's Princess Penny.

I know, but we gotta go.

But it's Princess Penny.

It was Princess Penny.

-Come on, Sarah.

-Give it up, Julie.

-Oh, I miss those things.

-You don't know how lucky you are.

-That's the man who killed Frosty.

-Come with me.

He brought us presents,

so he goes to Grandma's.

We could get a ride in his truck.

But he doesn't like us.

So we better be sneaky.

We can hide behind that big dog.

We're having a very lucky day.

Go, before he sees us. Hurry.

Those FPD bandits give you

any trouble?

Are you kidding?

Shoot, they won't come near me.

Well, you have a Merry Christmas,

young fella.

You too.

This will never work.

It is gonna work.

How do you know it's gonna work?

How do you know it's not gonna work?
