Mr Large was getting ready for work.
"Don't forget the office
dinner-dance tonight, dear," he said.
"Of course I won't," said
Mrs Large. "I've been thinking about it all
year."

"Are children allowed at the
dinner-dance?" asked Lester.
"No," said Mrs Large. "It'll be too
late for little ones."
"What about the baby?" asked
Luke.
"Granny is coming to take care of
everyone," said Mrs Large, "so there's no need to
worry."
Granny arrived at tea time. The children
were already bathed and in their
nightclothes.
Granny gave them some painting to
do while she tidied up and Mr and Mrs Large went upstaires to get
ready.
Luke sneaked into the bathroom while Mr
Large was shaving.
"Will I have to shave when I grow
up?" he asked, patting foam onto his trunk.
"Go away," said Mr Large. "I don't
want you ruining my best trousers!"
The baby crept into the bedroom where
Mrs Large was putting on her mark-up.
Mrs Large didn't notice until it
was too late.
"Look!" said the baby,
"Pretty!"
"Don't move," said Mrs Large.
"Don't touch anything!"
Outside on the landing, things were
even worse. Laura was clopping about in her mother's best shoes and
beads and Lester and Luke were seeing how many toys they could cram
into her new tights.
"Downstairs at once!" bellowed Mrs
Large. "Can't I have
just one night in the whole year to myself? One night when I am not
covered in jam and poster-paint? One night when I can put on my new
dress and walk through the front door all in one
piece?
The children went downstairs to
Granny.
Mr Large followed soon after, very
smart in his best suit. At last, Mrs Large appeared in the
doorway.
"How do I look?" she
asked.
"Pretty, Mummy!" gasped the
children.
"What a smasher!" said Mr
Large.
"You look like a film star, dear,"
said Granny.
"Hands off!" said Mrs Large to the
paint-smeared children.
Mr and Mrs Large got ready to
leave. "Goodbye
everyone," they said. "Be good now."
The baby began to
cry.
"Just go," said Granny, picking her
up. "She'll stop as soon as you've left. Have a lovely
time."
"We've escaped," said Mr Large with a
smile, closing the front door behind them.
"All in one piece," said Mrs Large,
"and not a smear of paint between us."
"Actually," said Mr Large
gallantly, "you'd look wonderful to me, even if you were covered in
paint."
Which was perfectly
true...
and just as well
really!
