“Be a good sport. Measure me.” Simon shoved a tape measure in my face. “I told you, Simon. You haven’t grown since yesterday! Now—leave me alone.” I had just returned home from the worst day of my life. I definitely was not in the mood to measure Simon. “My project is a loser.” Simon lowered his eyes. “A total loser.” It was hard not to feel sorry for Simon. He was so serious about his science project. I tried to cheer him up. “Simon, we just don’t grow that fast,” I said. “Maybe you should stud...y something else. How about measuring a puppy? Puppies grow faster than we do. Much faster.” “But we don’t have a puppy,” Simon replied. “How about Brutus? You can measure Brutus,” I said, guiding Simon out of my bedroom. “Brutus isn’t going to grow any more,” Simon whined. “You know that. He’s too old.” “I’ll think about it,” I told him. “I’ll try to come up with something you can study. But I need to think—alone.” I gave Simon a soft shove out of my room.MoreLessRead More Read Less
