Hailey Twitch is Not a Snitch
“So when recess comes around, I walk around by the schoolyard and call her name real soft.
“Maybelle,” I say. “Maybelle, Maybelle, Maybelle, yoo-hoo! Come out, come out, wherever you are!” Then I even say, “I give up, I can’t find you!” just in case she thinks we are playing hide-and-seek.
“Who’s Maybelle?” Russ asks. He has popped up right behind me. He looks all around. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
“You should not sneak up on people like that,” I tell him. “You are going to give me a heart... attack.” That is something my Grandpa Twitch says when I sometimes pop up behind his chair and take his hat while he is watching TV. It is a very fun game.
“Who is Maybelle?” Russ asks again. And then he starts yelling, “MAYBELLE, MAYBELLE, MAYBELLE!” And he flaps his arms like he’s a bird.
“Shhh!” I say. “Stop that this instant! I do not know what you are talking about.”MoreLess
