On a half-day the school schedule is the same, but everything takes half the time. That goes. for DETENTION, too. And all the bullies in our school know that if they do something bad the day BEFORE a half-day they'll only get half the PUNISHMENT.
Sometimes school gets cancelled because it's supposed to snow, and then it doesn't. That's because the school relies on our local TV weatherman for the forecast, and he's wrong at least 50% of the time.
On New Year's Eve, he said it was going to be "T-shirts and shorts weather" the next day, but it snowed three inches. And when people saw him at the grocery store, they let him know they weren't happy.
Honestly, I don't see how this guy still have a JOB? I guess, as long as people like my parents tune in every night, he's not going ANYWHERE.
I coundn't find one of my gloves this morning, So I looked for a replacement. I was already running late, so the best I could come up with was a puppet Mom bought to try and get me to eat healthy food when I was younger.
I guess Mom thought that if Mr. Morsels like vegetables, then I would, too. But I used Mr. Morsels to eat MY vegetables, and when I found him today in the cupboard, he still had stains on his face from the peas I wouldn't touch in second grade.
I know it's kind of ridiculous to wear a puppet as a gove, and I MOSTLY remembered to keep that thing tucked in my coat pocket on the walk to school.
But when Cassie Drench rode by in her mom's car, I totally forgot Mr Morsels was still on my hand.
Speaking of GIRLS, there's been a BIG change to the Safety Pactrals in the past few weeks.
There used to be a lot of BOYS on Patrols, but most of them quit or got kicked off before the start of the new year.
The last two boys on the Patrols were Eric Reynolds and Dougie Finch, who were both captains. But they had their badges taken an the first week of January when they got in to snowball fight in front of the kindergarten classroom at he elementary school.
So now the Safety Patrols are 100% GIRLS. And I'll bet they've been planning a takeover for a WHILE.
The reason is because the guys at my school can be real JERKS. And when it snows they're REALLY bad.
After a while, I'm sure the girls got SICK of it, and that's why they put themselves in charge.
Now that the girls are in power, theyre not messing around. If you throw a single snowball on a school day, the Safety Patrols will report you to the principal, and it'll get you an automatic suspension.
So the girls are just PRAYING one of us guys will stept out of line.
Today the road was cleared, but the pavement WASN'T. Whenever that happens, me and Rowley jsut walk in the road. But these new Safety Patrols are sticklers for the rules, and they won't let us walk in the road, even though THEY do it.
But it's Practically IMPOSSIBLE to_walk on the pavement when it hasnt been ploughed, ESPECIALLY when people are clearing their driveways.
