"TIMOTHYYY??" Olena calls out from downstairs.

"YETH, MAM??" Tim answers from upstairs where he and Chance were playing a game on Chance's new Xbox.

"HONEY. YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT IS NEEDING TO GO OUTSIDE TO POTTY!" Olena yells.

"ME PAYING GAME!!" Tim answers, not taking his eyes off the screen.

"Pause it." Olena says as she walks into the boys' room.

"ME DON'T KNOW HOW!!" Tim yells, not realizing Olena had walked into the room.

"Like this." Olena giggles as she presses the pause button.

"Nooooo." Chance whines as he stares at the paused screen.

"You boys can continue the game AFTER Mr. Tim carries his dog outside to potty." Olena says, crossing her arms across her chest.

Tim pouts as he gets up from the bean bag he was sitting on.

"Well, we can always let Satchmo go back to Texas and live with your mom." Olena states with a raised brow.

"NO!! No, Pease!! No then Thatchmo back, pease?" Tim pleads. (please, send)

"We won't. But you did promise to help take care of him. He is your dog." Olena says.

"Me know." Tim nods. "Me take him go pee pee."

"And feed and water him too?" Olena asks.

"Kay, me peed and wata him too." Tim nods. "Me be back, Chance." (feed, water)

"Huwy up." Chance says, laying down his remote and running to the bathroom. (hurry)

"Me twy." Tim says as he follows Olena down stairs.

"It looks pretty cloudy outside so you need to hurry before it starts to rain." Olena says as she puts a lease on the large dog.

"Tell Thatchmo to huwy." Tim says as he puts on his jacket. "Come on, Thatchmo. You need to huwy and take keer ob biddiness bepore it wains." (hurry, care of business before it rains)

Olena laughs and shakes her head as she heads back into the living room, picking up a few toys and placing them into the toy box. 

"Need help?" She asks as she walks into the kitchen to see Jenika fixing snacks for the boys.

"Just fixing the boys some snacks. You can grab them some juice boxes from the fridge, if you don't mind?" Jenika says as she glances out the window. "Uh, is Tim still outside with Satchmo?"

"Yeah, why?" Olena answers as she turns around with an arm full of juice boxes.

"Cause it's pouring down rain." Jenika says as she throws the snack tray back down on the table.

"Oh, my God!" Olena says as she hears frantic beating on the patio door.

She throws down the boxes as she and Jenika run to the patio door. 

Tim was trying to open the door but was having no luck at getting it open. He and Satchmo were both drenched.

"IT WAINING!! OPEN DA DOWA!!" Tim shouts. (raining, the door)

"Oh, sh*t. It's stuck again!" Jenika says as she pulls at the sliding door.

"CHRIS!!!!" Olena yells as she tries to help Jenika open the door.

"WHAT!!??" Chris shouts as he makes Avi and Austin's bed.

"WE NEED YOUR HELP!!" Jenika yells.

"JUST A MINUTE!! I'M ALMOST FINISHED!" Chris answers.

"NO!! WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW!!" Olena screams.

"Oh, good heavens." Chris grumbles as he throws down a pillow case.

"What's wong?" Avi asks looking up from where he and Austin were coloring.

"Who knows." Chris says as he starts down stairs, being followed by Austin and Avi.

"What is wrong with this stupid door?" Jenika asks as she and Olena tries everything they know to try and get it open.

"What the ...?" Chris says as he hurries over to help the girls. "What's he doing outside?"

"He took Satchmo out to use the bathroom." Olena says as she and Jenika step back out of Chris's way.

"In the rain?" Chris asks as he examines the door.

"It wasn't raining when he went out." Olena answers.

"No, it just started." Jenika adds.

"Oh, I see what the problem is." Chris says. "It must have come off the track when he tried to open it. Austin can you help me here?"

Even though the boys had childish minds, they had the strength of grown men.

"Avi? Honey, can you run and get a couple of towels?" Jenika asks.

"Otay." Avi nods and runs toward the bathroom. He opens the towel cabinet and then it dawns on him that he didn't know what 'couple' meant. He grabs them all.

He runs back to where the others were, dropping towels on the way.

"Dang it." Avi mumbles as he tries to pick up the towels, dropping more in the process.

"Abi? Whad ya doing?" Adam says as he helps Avi pick up the towels.

"Mith Jen want dese towels. Tim ith downing." Avi says.

"Tim ith downing? He in da poo? But ith waining?" Adam asks as he grabs the towels from the floor.

"No, da wain ith downing him and Satmo." Avi explains.

"Avi?" Jenika calls out, wondering what was taking him so long.

"I coming." Avi says as he and Adam hurry into the room. Both carrying an arm load of bath towels.

"Sweetie, I only needed a couple." Jenika giggles.

"I don't know whad couple ith." Avi shrugs.

"HUWY, CHWIS!! ME DWOWNING!!" Tim shouts with furrowed brows as the rain pours down on him.

"YOU'RE NOT DROWNING!" Chris chuckles as he and Austin finally get the door back on track. "There." He says as he slides the door open.

Satchmo runs in and quickly shakes his body trying to dry himself.

"TOP SATMO!!" Avi laughs, as he, Austin and Adam shield their faces.

Chris grabs Tim and pulls him inside the house. He was soaked to the bone and shivering from the cold.

"M ..m..me s..s..s.so co..cold." Tim shivers as Jenika and Olena begins to wrap the towels around him.

"Why don't you girls fix the boys some hot chocolate and I'll take Tim upstairs and help him get out of these wet clothes." Chris says. He takes Tim by the hand and leads him upstairs.

"Hot chocket?" Adam asks, his eyes lighting up.

"Wid marameyo?" Avi grins.

"Wid whad?" Austin asks with a giggle as they follow the girls into the kitchen.

"Marameyo." Avi repeats himself.

"You mean marthmeadows?" Adam asks.

"Uh huh, dats whad I thaid." Avi nods. "Marameyo."

"I think you mean these?" Olena giggles as she holds up a bag of miniature marshmallows.

"YEAH!!" Avi claps.

Chris, Chance and Tim walks into the kitchen. Tim is wearing some warm jogging pants and a sweatshirt.

"How you feeling, Sweetheart?" Jenika asks as she rubs him on the back. "Your cheeks looks a little flushed."

"Me till cold." Tim answers as he sits down at the table with the other boys. "Me not .. me not taking Thatchmo out no mowa." He adds, shaking his head. (more)

"Then how is Satchmo supposed to go use the bathroom?" Jenika asks.

"He .. he can uth da batwoom like da west ob us." Tim answers. (use the bathroom like the rest of us)
