The battle between Generation Y and Generation Baby Boomer heated up in the early hours of this morning with Corey dodging his minder Terri. What Generation Y had in cheek and fitness, Generation Baby Boomer had in experience and smarts … well, sort of.
Terri, a little perplexed, wandered into the Backyard. “Where’s your charge Terri? Where’s Corey?” David shouted. “I don’t know I just came out to have a look where he was,” Terri told the Housemates, who had nestled into the Spa. “I just come out to see if someone had drowned him in the bottom there.”
“No Terri,” Brigitte explained. “He jumped over the wall.”
“Seriously, he did!” Rebecca chimed in.
“Are you serious?” Terri’s hand flew to her mouth, stunned. “He jumped over what wall?”
“He said to us he’s allowed to go out there, that it’s okay with you.” Rebecca explained. “He’s gone up that tree,” David added to the story. “He said he was allowed to come and go as he pleases,” Rebecca expanded.
“Oh, bullshit!” Terri declared. “I’m going to go talk to Big Brother.”
The Housemates egged Terri to dob Corey in but she didn’t need the encouragement, stampeding to the Diary Room to alert BB of Corey’s sudden disappearance. “Big Brother, it appears Corey has escaped the yard.” Terri told BB. “The Housemates tell me that he climbed the tree and [went] up over the wall.”
“What do you mean?” Big Brother asked.
“Well exactly that! He’s gone up over the wall!” Terri explained.
Big Brother was not impressed. “Terri, only hours ago Big Brother appointed you Corey’s guardian. How could this possibly have happened?” demanded BB.
“Well obviously it has! I mean I can’t watch him every second.” Terri replied.
“Do you think he has become that desperate to get away from you already?” Big Brother questioned.
“It seems as though he has – yes!” Terri laughed. “I don’t think I’ve been that tough on him, I think I could’ve been a lot tougher.”
“How are you planning to retrieve him?”
“Well I’m certainly not planning to go climb the tree and climb out and try and find him.”
“Why not?” Big Brother said.
“I suppose I could.” Terri reasoned. Quicker than you can say ‘grandma on a mission,’ Terri had swapped her glad rags for high-hoisted tracksuit pants and running shoes.
Meanwhile Corey was hiding from Terri in the bedroom (much to the Housemates’ amusement).
Struggling up the tree, Terri saw no sign of escapee Corey, “So you’re telling me he went up there? Bullshit!” Bianca put the Guardian Grandma out of her hunting misery. “He’s hiding from you and everyone wants me to play along.”
A game of hide-and-seek continued well into the early hours but Terri finally found her ‘runaway’ hiding out in the backyard. “Corey you gotta go to bed mate,” ordered Terri.
But Corey wasn’t having any part of Terri’s directive and – giving up – this Nanna eventually took herself off to bed.
