1 Mmmmm Mmmm 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 the book back with a scowl Kris struggled to pull the pink gum off 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 bedroom 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 She tossed back her blond ponytail and returned her eyes to her book Both girls had straight blond hair But Lindy kept hers long usually tying it behind her head or on one side in a ponytail And Kris had hers cut very short It was a way for people to tell the twins apart for they were nearly identical in every other way Both had broad foreheads and round blue eyes Both had dimples in their cheeks when they smiled Both blushed easily large pink circles forming on their pale cheeks Both thought their noses were a little too wide Both wished they were a little taller Lindy's best friend Alice was nearly three inches taller even though she hadn't turned twelve yet
