noticed my hand blowing in the wind he said, â Jah , Georgia?â
âHerr Kamyer, there is a strange-looking thing in one of the pictures of the Kochs. It looks like a very tiny poo on a plate. But that doesnât seem right.â
Herr Kamyer blinked through his moley glasses. âAh, bring up ze picture, Georgia, und we will see.â
I quicky attached my bubble-gum bogey as Ipretended to sneeze into my hankie and went up to his desk with the snot rag still covering my nose.
Herr Kamyer didnât notice. He is so INTERESTED in things; itâs tragic, really. He actually seems to believe that we want to learn things. I put the textbook down in front of him at the picture of the Kochs and pointed to the poo on a plate.
âAch so, Georgia, der spangleferkel â¦oh jah , I remember ven as a youngen ve vent into the voods camping, we would cook up the spangleferkel and sing our songs around ze campfire. The fun ve had camping. You vould have loved it, girls.â
I still had my hankie out to disguise the bogey, but when he started humming, âGif me ze campfire light und komt mit me to der liebe liebe Rhein ,â and took his glasses off to clean them. Or perhaps he was crying. Who knows? Who cares? Anyway, when he did that, I took the opportunity to let the bogey run free and wild. I even did a bit of the bogey dance slightly behind him and managed to get the hankie back in place before he finished. When I walked back to my desk the whole class spontaneously clapped. Herr Kamyer thought it was for his crap camping song and bowed. Quite sensationally German.

Sadly, Herr Kamyer really thinks we love his camping stories. Heâs going on and on about what they did. How they sang songs and cooked over the campfire.

Swapping notes. Rosie wrote, âDear fellow loons, Let us have a scoring system for bogey work. Gee gets 5 points for her excellent letting the bogey run free and wild over Herr Kamyerâs head. Similar acts earn 5 points and the first to get to 20 gets free Jammy Dodgers for life. Well, for a bit, anyway. Ro Ro, advisor to the stars xxxxx.â
Of course there is always a dog in the manger of life. Jas wrote back and said it was âsillyâ and âchildish.â Hilarous really, coming from someone who practically snogs owls. Ellen was dithering about. Even in her notes. She wrote, âHi everyone, itâs me. Erm, about the snot disco, well, you know, I donât know. Like, er, what if we er, get into er, like trouble? What do you think, or something?

Jas and Ellen have formed their own little breakaway gang and they are living in a snot-free zone. They should grow up.

Drat and dratty drat drat Rosie is catching up pointswise by letting her bogey dangle over Mme. Slackâs head as Mme. Slack is checking her homework. We were all trying not to laugh and Mme. Slack must have sussed something because she unexpectedly looked up and nearly got the pretend bogey in her eye. As she was looking at Rosie, Rosie casually popped the âsnotâ into her mouth and started chewing.
Mme. Slack went ballisticisimus and Rosie has got detention.
4:10 p.m.
Home time for some. As we went by the hall we saw Rosieâs face at the window. She pressed her nose against the pane of glass so that it spread out like a trapped piglet. Vair funny. She mouthed âI love you all,â and then disappeared from view.

6:00 p.m.
Lying on my bed. No phone calls or anything from any of my so-called maybe perhaps boyfriends. Iâm all aloney on my owney. Even Dave never rings me these days, not even as a matey-type mate, which he is. And the Swiss Family Mad are out at some sad tea party, wrecking peopleâs lives with their weird ideas and Dadâs huge bottom.
6:30 p.m.
I may as well go to sleep early and get as much beauty sleep as I can. Just in
