test. We scored so high that Mr. Klutz threw us a big party. And do you know what I had to eat at the party?
    I’m not going to tell you.
    Okay, okay, I’ll tell you.
    NO, IT WASN’T CAKE!
    You thought I was going to say a piece of cake, didn’t you? But there was no cake at all. Why is everybody always talking about cake?
    We had cookies and Jell-O and pie at the party! I ate so much that I thought I was gonna throw up. It was the greatest day of my life.
    Maybe Dr. Nicholas will get hired again to teach us more history. Maybe a meteor will destroy the earth, and we won’t have to take tests anymore. Maybe they’ll come up with a different number for pencils. Maybe the Pilgrims will go to Home Depot. Maybe Chuck Norris will run for president. Maybe we’ll go scuba diving in the all-purpose room. Maybe Dr. Nicholas will get off Oprah. Maybe the dinosaurs will return, and we can ride them to school. Maybe we’ll find out who invented toilet paper. Maybe we’ll get another ride in the time boat. Maybe we’ll get to try some paper made out of peanuts. Maybe Emily will get lost in time for real. Maybe we’ll learn how to say the word “crapper” without giggling. Maybe people will stop talking about cake all the time.

    But it won’t be easy!
