Story 5: Wishy-Washie
Ernie pulled on his hat and scarf. "Come on Bert, Bert, we got a'caroling to go to!"
Bert looked himself over in the mirror. "I just have to finish with these oatmeal cakes for bernice, Ernie."
"But, Bert, we're gunna be late!"
"Nah, that isn't possable. We have plenty of time. They'll wait for us."
"But, Bert..."
Whatever he was going to say was drowned by the sound of bubbling from the kitchen. "Uh oh." Bert dissapeared out of the room and Ernie sat down on the sofa. If they were late...
"It's ok," Bert shouted. "It's not burned."
"Hye, Bert. I got an idea, Bert."
"What's that, Ernie?" Bert yelled from the kitchen.
"You know that pagent? Where one of us has to be Mamma? I thought we should toss, Bert."
"Toss? Toss what?" Bert cooed at his pigeon. "Hello, Bernice. I have some lovely oatcakes here, but you gotta let them cool. It is not good to eat too fast, you know."
Ernie went on, "If we are late, you can be Mamma, Bert."
Not listening, Bert blew on the cakes. "Maybe we should put them into the refridgerator, Bernice."
"Is that ok, Bert?" Ernie asked.
"Sure, Ernie, whatever. Do we have time to put these cakes in the refridgerator?"
Ernie grinned. "Go ahead, we have plenty of time. You said it yourself."

They arrived on the doorsteps of 123 Sesame Street and everyone was waiting. They were greeted with calls.
"Elmo didn't know here you were!"
"I thought you wouldn't come, and then Bigbird would have to be Mamma."
"Oh, perfect, the twins are here. My day just got worse."
"They're not twins, just two friends."
"That's two, two late friends."
"We're late?" Ernie asked.
"Yes," Maria said. "They were just about to leave without you!"
Ernie looked over at Bert. "Hey, Bert," he said. "You lost the toss." He sniggered.
