Philip And the Loser (9781619501522)
“But when Emery guessed that his mother weighed one hundred and ninety-six pounds, she scolded him for such a high guess. “What do you think I am? An elephant?” She tossed a baby onto her shoulder and stomped out of the kitchen. The boys decided a guessing game would only get them into trouble.
Tuesday, Emery had to stay in and help Leon with his homework. Philip left Emery’s house quickly when he heard Leon was on the way. Mrs. Moriarty, who’d stepped outside to put a plastic bag of trash into ...a trash can, saw Philip and called him over.
“Hi, Mrs. M.,” said Philip.
“I wanted you to know I reserved a space for you and Emery at the fair Saturday. The fair starts at noon, so be there ahead of time to set up anything you need. We have plenty of tables and chairs, so don’t worry about them. What kind of game did you finally decide on?”
“Well . . . well, it’s going to be kind of a surprise,” Philip replied nervously.
“Good,” said Mrs. M. “I like surprises.
I’ll be looking forward to whatever it is.”MoreLess
