"Mmmmm! Mmmmm! Mmmmm!" Kris Powell struggled to get her twin sister's attention.
Lindy Powell glanced up from the book she was reading to see what the problem was. Instead of her sister's pretty face, Lindy saw a round pink bubble nearly the size of Kris's head. "Nice one," Lindy  said without much enthusiasm. With a sudden move, she poked the bubble and popped it.
"Hey!" Kris cried as the pink bubble gum exploded onto her cheeks and chin.
Lindy laughed. "Gotcha."
Kris angrily grabbed lindy's paperback and slammed it shut. "Whoops - lost your place!" She exclaimed. She knew her sister hated to lose her place in a book. Lindy grabbed her book back with a scowl. Kris struggled to pull the pink gum of her face.
"That was the biggest bubble I ever blew," she said angrily. The gum wasn't coming off her chin.
"I've blown much bigger than that," Lindy said with a superior sneer. "I don't believe you two," their mother muttered, making her way into their bathroom and dropping a neatly folded pile of laundry at the foot of Kris's bed. "You even compete over bubble gum?"
"We're not competing, " Lindy muttered.
