Wanted . . . Mud Blossom
“speech from the back porch of the Blossoms’ house.
Apparently Mud had eaten a hamster, which was considered an act of murder. Ralphie couldn’t have been more pleased. It took something like an act of murder to distract the Blossom family.
It was the Ralphie luck, he thought. The only time in his whole life that the Ralphie luck had deserted him was the time he had the accident on the riding lawn mower.
So now, with the family properly distracted, he could slip up the steps and into Maggie’s bed...room—he knew which one it was because she often called out the window to him. “I’ll be right down. Don’t go away.” As if he would.
Even with the Ralphie luck, Ralphie didn’t take chances. He slunk down the hallway, close to the wall. He paused with his foot on the first step. He listened.
Maggie, Junior, and Pap were in the front yard. He could hear their voices. Vern and Michael were at the side of the house—in the bushes. Ralphie had almost run into them, but they were laughing at some secret joke and never even saw him.MoreLess
