Miss Kezia Bennet had had enough of the madhouse she was living in. She rattled on the stair gate door separating her from kitchen and cuddle and made her feelings known. She wanted to be carried and now. Mrs Bennet got the message and scooped up her smaller 15-month-old, hooking her on a hip and continued to make sandwiches one-handed. This pacified her daughter, but because Mrs Bennet had to put her down to go and buy some wet wipes, Miss Bennet Number Five protested big time. Under the "un"watchful eye of Mr Bennet who was stuffing the Scooby Doo van's back end with the garage's stomach ready for a trip to the local tip, the baby twin managed to get hold of the phone, dialed 999 and called for help. She wasn't having any of this. Both parents were preoccupied and she wanted some attention. Mr Bennet knew nothing of this successful manoeuvre until he got a call from the police a few moments later.
"We have just received a call from your address. Is everything alright? Do you need the police?"asked a female voice.
"No, certainly not," he replied, suddenly recalling Miss Emily Bennet had mumbled something about Miss Kezia Bennet tapping in a string of numbers.
"Umm, I'm really sorry but I think it was one of my baby daughters."
The woman's tone turned to ice and asked for his details.
"If it happens again, Mr Bennet, I'm afraid we will have to take action," she told him.
Mrs Bennet wasn't sure whether Mr Bennet would have told her about this incident, but having several witnesses he couldn't get away with anything. Miss Emily Bennet was very quick to tell her mother on her wet wipe return.
"Kezia called the police Mummy!"
"It's got that bad hey!" laughed Mrs Bennet.
Back in her kitchen cage and locked behind a stair gate, Mrs Bennet felt like ringing 999 herself. Miss Kezia Bennet's partner in crime, Miss Rosie Bennet stood by her sister's side. Both were now shaking the cage door, demanding their next meal. Mrs Bennet, who was doing her best to appease these hungry babes, was serving a sentence for being the meanest Mummy in the world. Mrs Bennet was guilty as charged according to her eldest daughter, Miss Naomi Bennet because she hadn't bought her a pencil case, any new clothes and never let her have anything. Serving her time, Mrs Bennet pleaded not-guilty. Eventually Mr Bennet bailed her out and let her out for good behaviour.
