Dodger for President
“DODGER SHOUTED as he jumped into my arms.
“Oww!” I yelped as we tumbled together to the floor of my room. This happened pretty often, because I was a wimpy, 80-pound fifth grader and Dodger was a really strong, 125-pound chimp. With blue fur. And bright orange-and-white surfer shorts. Plus an eye patch.
Oh, and he’s invisible to everyone except me and this girl named Lizzie.
It’s a really long story.
But the point is, Dodger knocked me over and landed right on top of me. It’s amazing how pointy... a chimpanzee’s elbows are. So as I was lying there, gasping for air, Dodger started talking a mile a minute. The conversation went like this: DODGER: Dude, you missed so much while you were in Cleveland with your dad!
ME: Gasp . . .
DODGER: Lizzie took me to school, just like we planned. And there was just one little problem.
ME: Gasp . . .
DODGER: Like, there was this science quiz. It was totally hard. There were all these, um, questions and stuff. And you had to fill in these little bubbles with letters next to them, but I really didn’t see what the letters had to do with the questions.MoreLess
