The Kryptonite Kid: A Novel Read Online Free PDF Page B

soul wouldn’t go to Hell and I couldn’t have any pie until I did it. And so I did it. And that’s when I noticed that her lips were real red and she had a nice smile which I never saw before. And her dress was real pretty and she looked a LOT better than she ever did in real life. So I was thinking maybe death isn’t  such a bad thing- after all but still I hope you’ll be REAL careful around any gold, Superman. Because if you do touch any, then don’t forget to make sure you have ALL your Super powers before you stand in front of any trucks that don’t have any breaks OK? Goodby again.
      
JERRY again
      
    PS: Robert didn’t get a chance to tell Sister Mary Justin about Metropolis yet because we haven’t had Geography for three days because we had three extra Religion classes instead because we’re gonna be making our First Holy Communion pretty soon. But don’t worry, he’ll tell her. Because if he don’t then I will.
      

      
    Dear Man of Tomorrow,
      
    The other day in Geography class Sister Mary Justin was talking about the Holy Trinity. And she said there’s three persons in one God and they’re the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost amen. And I said HOW CAN THERE BE THREE PERSONS WHEN THERE ISN’T EVEN ONE PERSON BECAUSE HE’S A GOD AND NOT A PERSON? And Sister Mary Justin said THAT’S TRUE, HE IS A GOD BUT THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT PARTS TO THAT GOD. And I said YOU MEAN LIKE A PUZZEL? And Sister Mary Justin said NOT EXACTLY, IT’S MORE LIKE A STATUE WITH THREE FACES. And I said HOW DO YOU KNOW GOD HAS THREE FACES IF YOU CANT SEE HIM UNTIL AFTER YOU DIE LIKE YOU TOLD US? And Sister Mary Justin was starting to get mad. But she said WELL, GOD TOLD US. And I said WHO DID HE TELL? And she  said THE WORLD. And I said WHEN? And she said WHEN HIS ONLY SON JESUS CHRIST CAME DOWN ON EARTH AND DIED FOR OUR SINS. And I said HOW DID JESUS KNOW? And she said BECAUSE HE’S THE SON OF GOD AND SO HE’S A MEMBER OF THE HOLY TRINITY AND SO HE’S REALLY GOD AND SO HE KNOWS EVERYTHING. And I said I STILL DON’T GET IT. And Sister Mary Justin said YOU SHOULD NOT BE A DOUBTING THOMAS. SIT DOWN, JEROME! So I sat down.
    So after school Robert and me talked about it a long time and we decided that it’s easy to see how sometimes you can be SUPERMAN and sometimes you can be CLARK KENT. But you can never be both at the same time. So how can Sister Mary Justin believe in three Gods that you can never see until after you die but she don’t believe in one Superman that you can watch on TV? That’s what we can’t figure out. Maybe she’s been praying too much and God’s been giving her too much information and she’s getting it all mixed up. That’s what I said. So Robert said WELL, MAYBE I BETTER NOT TELL HER ABOUT METROPOLIS BECAUSE SHE’LL JUST GET THAT MIXED UP TOO AND I’LL GET IN TROUBLE. And I said YOU’RE JUST ASCARED TO TELL HER BECAUSE YOU’RE CHICKEN! And Robert said NO SIR I AM NOT! So I started making noises like a chicken. And so now Robert’s gonna tell her if we ever have Geography again.
      
Your friends,
JERRY and ROBERT SIPANNO
      

      
    Dear Superman,
      
    Well, we had Geography again and Robert said I better  not write and tell you about it because it was REALLY terrible and Robert cried like I did. But I said we have to tell Superman because he’s our friend and we told him we would. My mom says a friend is a person who you can tell bad thing's to and they’ll listen. And I said I thought that’s what a priest was? And my mom said Yes, a priest is also a friend. But Robert said if I tell you about it then he’ll NEVER speak to me again in his hole life and maybe even longer. Like if we both go to the same place like Heaven or Hell or Purgatory. And you know what I think, Superman? I think he means it. In fact I’m sure he does. And so I’m really sorry. I hope you understand and don’t get mad or anything.
