Super Emma (2008)
“I tell my mom while we are eating dinner.
“Oh, no,” Mom says, putting down her fork. My mother works at home, so when I get sick it ruins everything for her. She reaches over and feels my forehead to see if I have a fever. She always frowns and looks up at the ceiling when she does this.
“I was a lot hotter before dinner,” I tell her. I rub the front of my neck the way a person might do if she really had a sore throat. I cough a little. “I guess I’d better not go to school tomorrow,” I say, loo...king weak and sad. I spear a big bite of meat loaf and dip it in a blob of ketchup.
Mom tilts her head and grins at me. “Well,” she says, “you’re sure wolfing down that meat loaf pretty fast for someone with such a bad sore throat.”
Uh-oh. But I wish I were a wolf, except for the part where you have to spray your territory. (Look it up. I’m not explaining it any more than I already did.) Wolves are very clever, though. They would never get into this much trouble at school.MoreLess
