movies.
âFreeze, dirtbags!â we shouted.
And there, in the gym, was the most amazing sight any of us had ever seen.
All the grown-ups who work in the school were there. Every one of them! And they were going crazy !
Mr. Klutz, the principal, was doing the Chicken Dance. Our teacher, Miss Daisy, was playing hopscotch. Mrs. Roopy, our librarian, was hula hooping. Ms. Hannah, our art teacher, was jumping rope. Miss Small was clapping her hands and singing that annoying hillbilly music. All the other teachers were doing the limbo and other equally weird stuff.
They all stopped what they were doingand stared at me and Michael and Ryan.
âWhat are you doing here, boys?â Miss Small asked.
âUhâ¦â
I looked at Ryan and Michael. They were doing that whistling thing you do when you want to pretend you didnât do anything wrong. I didnât know what to do. I didnât know what to say. I had to think fast.
âThe question is, what are you doing here?â I asked. âWhy arenât you all sitting around talking about the weather and eating and drinking coffee and reading the newspaper and doing other grown-up stuff?â
âWeâre having fun!â Mr. Klutz said.
âWhy should you kids have all the fun?â said Miss Daisy.
âYeah, we want to play too,â Mrs. Roopy said.
âThis is the only time we have all day to relax,â said Ms. Hannah.
âYeah!â said all the other grown-ups. âLighten up.â
Grown-ups are weird.
Me and Michael and Ryan ran out of there as fast as we could and went back to the playground. I hoped that Miss Daisy wouldnât tell my mom and dad that I called all the grown-ups at our school dirtbags.
Back on the playground, we decided that Miss Small really does have a serious problem. And now itâs spreading to allthe other teachers. Somehow, weâre gonna have to think of a way to make Miss Small grow up and act mature and boring like a normal adult.
But it wonât be easy!
