The Field Trip To the Civic Center

Do not be self-conscious or anything, but I have got my big ,

rotator

of an

eye

on you. I know your

mama

and your

dad

, and I’m willing to let them know if you are not being true. I cannot tell you that it is never odd or even, but I can tell you that it’s midway, and blue.

Eve

,

Bob

,

Otto

and

Anna

are ready to jump right in that

kayak

and

stack cats

if they have to. Don’t

pop

your eyes at me, young lady. I do not care if we are at the civic center; I feel free To do whatever I have to, to keep

Evil Olive<> in check, and you also, my little bumble bee. Who is looking for

a nut for a jar of tuna

? There is no

lemon, no melon

, and it’s 9:03. The radar gun is in the van with

Hannah

, anyway it was at noon, so I thought that it still might be. Someone is outside the

civic center

is yelling, “

No garden, one dragon

!” What does that mean anyway? I brought this 6th grade

level

field trip with me to have an interesting, fun-filled, learning challenged day. I don’t need some nut-bucket ruining it for me, on every<> level<>, this is totally wrong, and I don’t play! The

mirror rim

is brushing against the tailgate of the bus we brought, but that is for the driver to say. Now where in the Sam hill crazy town, is that blue nylon solo

kayak

that was attached to the top of our bus? I thought we could have one blasted

solo

-inspired field trip to the

civic center

without a bunch of fuss. I realize it is noon, and people are hungry and crabby, and the blue

kayak

is a big fat muss. But you have to realize that

Eve

,

Bob

,

Otto

, and

Anna

were the ones assigned to straighten this big tuss. I always get the blame when things go wrong, as everyone blames the poor old

mama

. The

dad

is just as much to blame, but there he goes, taking off on a fat llama. I’m ready to pop my cork, and pitch a fit that would shock the

Dad

, so much.

Aha

! Here he is, back to chow down his fabulous, hand-stacked pepperoni lunch.
