[Garrett nods] Mama's really smart. Okay, I'll continue.. From the far north they heard a low wail of the wind..[makes a swooshing sound] and Uncle Henry and Dorothy could see where the long grass bowed in waves before the coming storm. There now came a sharp whistling in the air [whistles] from the south, and as they turned their eyes that way they saw ripples in the grass coming from that direction also.
Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.
"There's a cyclone coming, Em," he called to his wife. "I'll go look after the stock." Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept.
Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. One glance told her of the danger close at hand.
"Quick, Dorothy!" she screamed. "Run for the cellar!" [Garrett said, trying to mimic a woman's voice]
[as the story begins to intensify, paired with Garrett's sound effects, Dree makes a face at the boys; TJ's holding tight to the side of the tub, focused on the story]
[as she rinses the last soap of Charlie's head] Y'know, it was a twister that brought us Miss Hilly. [runs a hand over his head and smiles; and, in a way, brought them CJ, too]

So, they're all going in the tub together.
You two are welcome to join us and man the towels.
