Megan McDonald Quote

Nah-uh! Bad one! everybody moaned. No way, said Frank. The note shot out of his mouth and landed smack-dab in the middle of Rocky’s desk. Slobber City! Gross! yelled Rocky. Mr. Todd passed out the quizzes. Mr. Todd cleared his throat. Question number one: How many times did I wear a purple tie to school this year? Everybody shouted answers. Ten! Twenty-seven! One hundred! Four! Never! called Jessica Finch. Never is correct! said Mr. Todd. Number two: How long did it take our class to go around the world? Eight days! said Frank. Eight and a half days, said Judy. Too easy. Let’s skip ahead. Here’s one. This is big. Really big. We’re talking MUCHO GRANDE! Tell us! everybody shouted. Can anyone — that means YOU, Class 3T — guess what I, your teacher, Mr. Todd, will be doing THIS SUMMER? Working at the Pickle Barrel Deli? asked Hunter. I saw you there. That was last summer, said Mr. Todd. But this summer, if you find me, you win a prize. We need a clue, said Judy. Give us a clue. Clue! Clue! Clue! Clue! Clue! yelled the class. Okay, okay. Let me think. The clue is . . . COLD. Mr. Todd hugged himself, pretending to shiver. Brrr. Jackson waved his hand. Refrigerator salesperson! Snow-remover guy! said Jordan. Polar-bear tamer! said Anya.
