Well, it turns out he was WRONG, and recess that day was a total NIGHTMARE.
Usually indoor recess isn't much fun. We're supposed to play board games and do arts and crafts, but kids always get restless and find ways to liven shwigs up.
So today our teacher said we were gonna try something NEW.
She taught us how to Play a game called “Museum”, where everyone has to freeze like a statue and hold still for as long as possible.
It was actually pretty FUN, but when recess ended I realized it was just an eaSy way to get us to BEHAVE for a half-hour.
The thing I don't like about being indoors at school in the winter is that a lot of kids are SICK, and I really don't want someone getting ME sick.
Our shel is FULL of germs, and NOBODY cover their mouth when they cough or sneeze.
Walking down the hallway between classes is like walking through a war zone.
Nobody remembers to sneeze into the crook of their arm, and kids like Albert Sandy aren't HELPING things. Today at lunch Albert told a story about a guy who covered his sneeze, and when he did he blew his head clean OFF.
I told Albert his story wasn't true, but he swore it WAS. He said the guy actually SURVIVED, and now he works as a grocery bagger at the local supermarket.
Albert's ALWAYS spreading bad information like that, and the kids at my table believe every word he says. So now there's ZERO chance any of these guys will cover their mouths the next time they have to sneeze.
A couple of weeks ago Albert said that when Someone's pet dies in the winter they have to wait until the ground thaws in the spring before it can be buried. He said they need somewhere to KEEP their pets in the meantime.
Albert said the people in our town use the school cafeteria's walk-in freezer to store their pets for the winter, and that right now it's full to CAPACITY.
I'm almost POSITIVE this is just another one of Albert's stupid made-up stories. But until we find our PIG I'm not gonna order the Pork Barbecue Special, just in case.
I'm seriously thinking of changing lunch tables, because I'm tired of sitting with Albert Sandy and all these other idiots every day. One kid I won't miss is. Teddy Silvetti, who wears the same sweater all winter long.
