    When I got to school the next morning, Miss Kraft was gone and Mr. Granite was back in our class. He wasn’t sneezing and honking and blowing his nose anymore.
    â€œOkay everybody,” he said, “turn to page twenty-three in your math books. I’ve been waiting all year to do this lesson, and today we’re finally going to do it.”
    â€œUh, Mr. Granite,” I said, “we did page twenty-three yesterday.”
    â€œNice try, A.J.,” said Mr. Granite. “I know you’re just trying to get out of doing math, like always.”
    â€œNo, he’s telling the truth for once in his life, Mr. Granite,” said Andrea. “We already did page twenty-three.”

    â€œYeah,” everybody said.
    â€œIs that so?” said Mr. Granite. “Well, if you kids think you’re so smart, what’s eleven times eleven?”
    â€œA hundred and twenty-one!” we all shouted.
    â€œWHAT?!” said Mr. Granite. “How did you know that?”
    â€œMr. Bongo taught us,” said Ryan. “He’s a sock puppet.”
    That’s when Mr. Granite did the weirdest thing in the history of the world. He went over to the window, opened it, and jumped out!
    Maybe Mr. Granite will come back to class someday. Maybe we’ll find out where Mr. Klutz went. Maybe people will stop blowing their noses into garbage cans. Maybe we’ll get to bungee jump in the all-purpose room. Maybe Miss Kraft will stop running into doors, juggling brains, and pulling handkerchiefs out of her nose. Maybe Mr. Bongo will become a real teacher. Maybe I’ll throw my nostrils under the table. Maybe our real sub will escape from the lion’s cage at the circus. Maybe we’ll do another book drop. Maybe I’ll get another chance to saw Andrea in half. Maybe I’ll be able to talk my parents into letting me go to clown college.
    But it won’t be easy!
