Miss Kraft Is Daft! (7 page)

“A hundred and twenty-one!” we all shouted.

“WHAT?!” said Mr. Granite. “How did you know that?”

“Mr. Bongo taught us,” said Ryan. “He's a sock puppet.”

That's when Mr. Granite did the weirdest thing in the history of the world. He went over to the window, opened it, and jumped out!

Maybe Mr. Granite will come back to class someday. Maybe we'll find out where Mr. Klutz went. Maybe people will stop blowing their noses into garbage cans. Maybe we'll get to bungee jump in the all-purpose room. Maybe Miss Kraft will stop running into doors, juggling brains, and pulling handkerchiefs out of her nose. Maybe Mr. Bongo will become a real teacher. Maybe I'll throw my nostrils under the table. Maybe our real sub will escape from the lion's cage at the circus. Maybe we'll do another book drop. Maybe I'll get another chance to saw Andrea in half. Maybe I'll be able to talk my parents into letting me go to clown college.

But it won't be easy!
