Alice in Blunderland
““Christmas for three!” Dad said brightly, trying to let Lester and me know that it could still be a nice Christmas without Aunt Sally and Uncle Milt and Carol.
“Christmas for four!” I said. “We have Oatmeal, remember?” Our gray-and-white kitten hadn’t celebrated a Christmas yet.
“Just keep her away from crinkle ribbon,” said Dad. “Cats will eat anything.”
“Even ribbon?” I asked.
“Ha!” said Lester. “Haven’t you ever seen a cat with one end of a ribbon sticking out its mouth and the other end sti...cking out its rear?”
“Lester, that’s gross!” I said.
“Cats are gross,” said Lester. My brother isn’t exactly fond of cats. What I think he is fond of is the girl named Lisa.
He says she’s just a friend from history class, but I saw her name, Lisa Shane, scribbled in pencil on the back of our phone book, along with her telephone number. I saw the initials LS written in four different directions on the cover of Lester’s three-ring notebook. One night when he was talking to her on the phone, he was doodling on the telephone pad, and when I looked at it later, I saw that he had drawn pairs of eyes with eyelashes all over the notepad and had written Lisalisalisalisalisa all over the place.MoreLess
