Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes
“Its mouth stood open wide, as if trying to scream.
“Hey—!” I choked out.
“What’s wrong?” Dad called. “Is it broken?”
“Its smile!” I cried. “Its smile is gone! It looks scared or something!”
Dad jumped down the steps and ran over. Moose and Mr. McCall joined him.
Mindy walked slowly in my direction, with a suspicious scowl on her face. She probably thought I was playing another joke.
“See?” I cried as everyone gathered around me. “It’s unbelievable!”
“Ha-ha! Good one, Joe!” Moose burst out. He punched me in the shoulder.
“Pretty funny.”
“Huh?” I lowered my eyes to the little figure.
Hap’s lips were curved up in a grin. The same silly grin he always wore. The terrified expression had disappeared.
Dad let out a hearty laugh. “Good acting job, Joe,” he said. “You really fooled us all.”
“Maybe your son should be an actor,” Mr. McCall said, scratching his head.
“He didn’t fool me,” Mindy bragged. “That one was lame. Really lame.”
