I poured in a bunch of pink bubble bath! Now it's glamorous!"When Ricky and his Mighty Robot saw the pond, they were very upset."NOOOO!" cried Ricky. "You RUINED it!"Ricky marched into the backyard where the adults were playing cards."MOMMMM!" cried Ricky. "Lucy made our pond all pink and bubbly!""Why, that sounds like fun," said Ricky's mom."It's NOT fun! It's STUPID!" Ricky shouted. "Every time we start to have fun around here, Lucy has to come along and RUIN it!""RICKY RICOTTA," exclaimed Ricky's father. "You have a BAD attitude. You need to apologize RIGHT NOW!"But before Ricky could get the chance, Lucy started to cry."I'm sorry, Ricky," Lucy sobbed. "I just wanted to play with you! I didn't mean to ruin everything.""I think we'd better go now," said Lucy's mother, Auntie Ethel.
