One there was a family of four penguins.  They weren’t ordinary winter penguins they were summer penguins.  They had two kids named Geoff and Tim.  The mom and dad penguin wanted to get married, so they went back in time to become human so they could become husband and wife.  The kids wanted that too and supported their parents.  So Mr. and Mrs. Penguin passed out invitations around town.  They went to buy potatoes to make potato salad for the wedding reception.  But the kids couldn’t make it to the wedding on time because they were penguins and couldn’t work the time machine.
