A ROTI SHOP DISASTER!

Dhlawattie had just gotten off the phone with the vending manager and he had given her permission to open the "Dhalwattie's Roti Shop" at the Chutney Show on May 9. She had gotten all her flour, baking soda and water needed to make the roti's. All she needed now was to hire employees to cook them for her. Dhalwattie hired three young adolesents to come work for her, two girls and one boy. Finally, May 9th had arrived. As she was setting up her booth, she recieved a phone call. "Ellllloooo!" she answered joyfully. "Oh, Parrot-batti! It's you gyal! How you do?" As the conversation continued she noticed a young lady and two boys walking past her booth, but the girl was giving her a wicked look. Dhalwattie stared back in confusion. "I don't know where these lazy chillldren are, they were supposed to come help me set up," she said into the reciever of her phone. "Oh wait, I tink I see one now. Lawwwd look how she watching me funny. Gyal I will call you back laatah...tek care...bye." And she hung up the phone. "Aye you gyurl over there, you think you can get away from working? You all get over here now!" The girl smiled widely and called her two friends behind her to go into the kitchen. There Dhalwattie gave them their uniforms and ordered them to start making the roti's. The crowd at the gate was getting overwhelming. One of the girls friend, asked if he could go get the equpiment from the truck. Dhalwattie sweetly replied, "Aye bai, you nah do nothing, stay right here and finish your cookin, let one of dem gyal go and get the stuff." She sends the girl out of the park to go get the equipment and when she comes back, the girl turned into a boy! "How did that gyal turn into a bai(boy)?!" She exclaimed. Dhalwattie figured something fishy was going on. She turned around and she saw three people walking toward her and they were already dressed in chef's uniforms. After putting two and two together, she realized she had been bamboozled! She picked up a belna(rolling pin) and was going to go after the three imposters. But before she could, the three of them had dropped the uniforms and had to run out of the kitchen. Dhalwattie said some nasty things under her breath, but let it go. The children were gone and there was nothing she could do about it. This was going to make on heck of a story to tell her friends!
