n the closet (衣橱)？”Jessica asked.“A skeleton in the closet？”her mother paused thoughtfully.“Well it's something that

you would rather not have anyone else know about.For example if in the past someone in Dad's family

had been arrested for stealing a horse it would be 'a skeleton in his family's closet'.He really wouldn't

want any neighbor to know about it.”

“Why pick on my family？” Jessica's father said with anger.“Your family history isn't so good you

prisoners.” “Gosh sorry I asked.I think I understand now ”Jessica cut in before things grew worse.

explained Jessica.“I brought it home to help me with my health project.I meant to tell you but it seemed

that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica

looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly.“They're both crazy” she thought.
