The family - Mother, Father, Brother, Sister and Baby - have just sat down at the breakfast table when Baby says: "I WANT MY APPLE JUICE!" (in a nice whiny voice...).
Mother says: "Brother, would you please go down to the basement and get Baby some apple juice..."
Brother opens the door to the basement (mime actions and make a spooky creaking sound...). He starts down the stairs. (show stepping motion with hands, making a creaking sound at each step). He was about half way down the stairs when he hears a voice say to him from behind the washing machine: "I'M THE GHOST WITH THE ONE BLACK EYE!" (in a drawn-out spooky, moaning voice...)
"AHHHHH!" Brother runs up the stairs (slapping hands on knees...), slams the door (mime the action), runs outside (more slapping), jumps on Baby's tricycle and rides to Chicago (mime the action).

SPINE

Meanwhile back at the breakfast table, Baby is saying...
Repeat the whole sequence with Sister, Father and Mother taking it in turn to go for the apple juice. Each one gets a little further down the stairs, each one hears the voice from a different location in the basement and each one reacts to the ghost by, screaming, running up the stairs, slamming the door and doing a different silly thing.

FEET

Meanwhile back at the breakfast table, Baby is saying...
Repeat the sequence until... Baby is reaching up to open the cupboard where the apple juice is kept when she hears a voice from right inside the cupboard saying: "I'M THE GHOST WITH THE ONE BLACK EYE..." Baby opens the cupboard door and says (make a fist and shake it at the ghost...): "IF YOU DON'T LET ME HAVE MY APPLE JUICE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TWO BLACK EYES!" (this in Baby's voice, of course)
The ghost flies up the chimney and is never heard from again.
