It was a special day for the 4th graders of the Miss Frankenreiter’s School of Etiquette for Girls.
Today they were going on a field trip!
The location was kept a secret until their yellow school bus parked in front of a house in a residential area.
Seventy-two kids rolled out of the bus onto the front yard of the Fitzgerald Sisters Museum of Figurines.
Which was also their home.
Their collection became so big that they had to turn their house into a museum and use the money they made from it to pay back their loans.
Loans that they used to pay for more and rare figurines.
The door opened and the conjoined twin sisters were standing in the doorway and greeted the children.
“Welcome to the Fitzgerald Sisters Museum of Figurines.” Eugenia says.
“That’s us!” Helga adds.
The kids were staring at the sisters that were connected by their noses.
Their teacher instructed the children to say hello and whispered to them not to stare.
Seventy-two kids said “Hello.” and the sisters began their tour.
“We started to collect figurines right after our parents died, we found the bride & groom figurine that was on top of their wedding cake. And so our collection got started.” Eugenia explains.
“A little man and a little woman.” Helga adds.
They walked backwards through the hallway and continued talking.
“So as you will all get to see our hallway is filled with figurines of famous writers and poets.”
“We collect any made from ivory, stone, silver or gold.” Helga adds.
“Let’s go into the kitchen.”
“Follow us.” Helga adds.
The walk into the kitchen, most of the seventy-two kids are still queued up in the hallway looking at figurines of famous writers and poets in alphabetical order.
“So here we have figurines related to food or cooking.” Eugenia explains.
“Like chefs, farmers and half-fruit or vegetable half-human figurines.” Helga adds.
The kids looked at some figurines of human-like-fruits dancing with human-like-vegetables.
“That tap dancing carrot is one of our favorites in the kitchen.” Helga tells the kids.
Now we will go into our biggest and most filled room of our museum.
They step into the living room and the kids are packed inside.
“So let’s continue the tour, we have a lot more to show you kids.” Eugenia says.
“A lot more!” Helga adds.
“On this side we have figurines that portrait the last moments of famous people.” Eugenia tells the little girls.
“From TV!” Helga adds.
Teacher interrupts “This seems a bit to much for the kids to handle.”
“Don’t be silly, this is history and there is nothing more important than our history.” Eugenia tells the teacher.
“Important!” Helga adds.
They continued talking about the figurines on the shelves on the wall.
“And here we have Isadora Duncan’s last moment.
She was a famous dancer that was well known for always wearing long scarves.
And when she was driving one day her scarf got stuck in the rotor of the car and she was pulled from her seat.
It snapped her neck and her body was dragged along the cobblestone street in France.”
“Ouch!” Helga adds.
They continued on to the next figurine.
“Here we have Frank Hayes a famous jockey.
He had a fatal heart attack while he was racing, his lifeless body still crossed the finish line.
And his horse won the race, and with that he had proven the theory that the horse is much more important than the jockey.”
“Scientific!” Helga adds.
“Here we have David Grundman who died when he and a roommate were shooting cactus in the desert.
David shot a chunk out of a 26-foot-tall Saguaro cactus which was probably a 100 years old.
Unfortunately the cactus fell on him and crushed him to death.”
“Prickly!” Helga adds.
“And our personal favorite Elvis Presley. The King of Rock ‘n Roll who died on the toilet.”
“Funny!” Helga adds.
“Maybe we should move on to something else now.” The teacher almost begs the sisters.
The sisters walk to another wall and continue their tour.
“Right, so here we have some safari themed figurines.”
“Safari!” Helga adds.
“Here we see a crocodile eating a young innocent gazelle that was just getting a sip of water from the pond.”
“Munch!” Helga adds.
“Here we see an elephant crushing a jeep filled with tourists.”
“Stomp!” Helga adds.
“Oh this one’s good, here we see a lion eating a hunter. That’s what we like to call Karma.”
“Munch!” Helga adds.
The teacher tries to say something again but the sisters keep talking.
“This one shows a surfer getting eaten by a shark. Surf’s Up Dude!”
“Crunch!” Helga Adds.
“Could we see something else now.” The teacher asks.
They continue to the next part of the living room.
“Here we have some of our favorite fairy tale characters.”
“Woohoo!” Helga adds.
As the teacher looks at the wall filled with the most gruesome figurines of events that could have happened if the fairy tales turned into sad stories she feels some anger building up and it comes out as a shout.
“ENOUGH!”
The sisters are a bit shocked by her reaction.
“If you don’t like these type of things then why don’t you take a look upstairs in our bedrooms?” Eugenia says.
“Ooh La La!” Helga adds.
The teacher has had enough.
“It’s time to go back to the school girls, let’s go outside back to the bus.” She tells them while she starts to push them back into the hallway.
“Are you sure? We also have a workshop where the kids can make a figurine themselves.” Eugenia tells her.
“Pottery!” Helga adds.
But it’s not use, the teacher pushes the girls back into the bus and they drive back to the school.
As their bus leaves the street they see a tour bus turn into the street and stop at the sisters house.
The sisters stand in their front yard and greet the people coming of the bus and pose for some pictures.
Eugenia welcomes her guests “Konnichiwa.”
“Sushi!” Helga adds.
