Honey I Shrunk The Kids!

It was one fine spring morning. CRASHING and BANGING was coming from upstairs in the Attic. The three kids David, Katy and Layla, went upstairs to find out what all the racket was. "We should have known!" they said at the same time. It was dad working on his science experiments AGAIN! "DAD!" they shouted. He didn't seem to hear them. "DAD!" they yelled hoping this time he would hear, but he still didn't hear. "DADDD!" they bellowed. He turned around, "Oh hello kids, I didn't hear you come up," he smiled. The kids laughed. Layla ran to dad she was only 4. " Daddy I made you a picture", she said. It was a picture of her and Dad. "Awww, how sweet," said Dad. Dad had been working on a project, it was a gun called the 'ELECTROZORBTASTIC LASER JETBRAIN gun. Dad accidentally dropped the gun on its Blast button.....

BLAST!! went the gun! "OH, NO!" shouted Dad. He had accidentally BLASTED the kids with GUN! THE KIDS HAD SHRUNK. "DAD WHAT HAVE U DONE" said the tiny little voices from the ground. Layla ran off into the garden crying, "NOOO," Dad, David and Katy all shouted "NOOO" altogether too. Mum had heard the yelling from Dad and asked what was up. "Well. um, I accidentally blasted the kids with my new gun and shrunk them" Dad whispered "WHAT!" she yelled. Then she fainted.

Katy had gone into the garden. "Layla!" screamed David. Katy ran into the garden to find her little sister crying. "Whats wrong Layla?" said Katy softly. "I hurt my leg, I think its broken" said Layla "Come on David and I will carry you". So they picked her up Mum and Dad came running into the garden. Dad spotted the kids and swooped the kids into to his warm loving hands.

Dad walked up to the Attic with Mum by his side. "NOW all I have to do is blast you with ELECTROZORBTASTIC LASER JETBRAIN gun!" he said trembling with fear. So he picked up the gun, "ONE" "TWO" "THREE". He pressed the button and there was a flash of light and a bit of smoke. After the smoke had cleared.......  the kids were back to there normal self. They ran to their parents hugging them with love. Mum kissed them each on the head and they hugged for awhile. "Kids I'm sorry its all my fault," Dad finally spoke. The kids and Mum gasped "No!" they said in horror Dad laughed, they hugged again. This time for much longer. "WE LOVE YOU," said the kids. "WE LOVE YOU TOO." said Mum and Dad. So it was a happy ending for the family. Lets just hope Dad doesn't need to use that gun again!
