Saturday — - "
\os† people look forward_+o the holidays but the
stretch between Thanksgiving and_Christmas just
makes me a nerVous wreck Tf you make a mistake
in_the first eleven months of +h e-year, it's no big
deal But if you do something _wrong-d uri hg the a
holiday season youre gonna pay for_it GOT MORE PRESENTS | IF YOU HADN'T | _ PINCHED YOUR \ BROTHER LAST WEEK! /
T+s too much pressure to eon your best ap
behaviour for_a_whole month The most T can — really handle is_six or seven days ina row So
Trang 9Kids whose families dont celebrate Christmas — —
are lucky because they dont have to stress out
whenever they do something wrong.at this time
of year Tn fact, T have a few friends in that _
category who 1 think acta little extra jerky - —

The thing that REALLY makes me nervous is this
whole Santa issue The fact that he can see you
when youre sleeping and knows when youre awake

sweatpants †o bed because J really dont need

always talking about You hearabout.it, but

T kind of wonder how accurate the list really is
anyway Theresa kid_named Jared Pyle who_lives up the street from me, and_if theres ANYONE _
who deserves to be on the “Naughty” list
it's him But last year he gota dirt bike for
Christmas, so don+ even ask me WHAT Santa was
thinking on THAT one
Trang 12
Ts not just Santa The got to worry about,
either Last year, when Mom was going through _
some old boxes, she found a homemade doll from _
her childhood
Mom said the doll is called “Santa's Scout! and —_
that his job is to.watch how kids behave and then
report back +o Santa at the North Pole
Trang 13
Well, Tem not a fan of that idea First of all, T
think you have aright to privacy in_yaur_own home
And,.second, Santa's Scout gives me the willies
L dont really buy the idea that this doll is
feeding Santa information, tut, just in case, T —
try tobe extra good whenever Tm in the same
Trang 14But it probably doesnt matter anyway, because
my older_brother, Rodrick, is constantly feeding
Santas Scout bad information about me

Trang 15Sunday s a Today we took all our Christmas decorations out
of the storage room in the basemen+ We have
boxes full of ornaments, and some of them are pretty old There's one with -a_picture_of me_and
Rodrick taking a bath in the sink that's really —
embarrassing, but Mom wont-let me throw it out We put up the tree in the living room and_started hanging orhaments.on it My little brother,
Manny, was taking a nap upstairs and,.when he
woke up and found out we were decorating the
Trang 16
The-reason Manny was so upset was because
| someone had_hung_his favourite ornament, this —_
candy_cane_he really likes So Mom took it off the tree_and_handed_it to Manny +o hang up himself

But Manny wanted his ornament tobe the —
EIRST one on the tree, so that meant we had

in_my house every sinale day / / «+ / Mom hasnt started +a use the threat of Santa

Trang 18Monday
Right before Thanksgiving break, there wasa —
contest at school +o see who could come_up with
the best anti-bullying slogan, and the grand prize wasa pizza party for the winning team |
Forma team of up to five and
come up with the best anti-bullying PIZZA PARTY inthe cafeteria!

Everyone wanted that pizza party, and people
didnt care WHAT they had to init “wo groups.of girls in my grade_came up with slogans
that were really similar, and_each group accused
Trang 19“he whole situation spun out of control, and evenrtually the vice principal had +o step in to stop
it from turhing into_a full-scale riot
Trang 20
The day before Thanksgiving there was abig
anti-bullying assembly, and.everyone in the
auditorium was looking at Dennis the whole time T_ kind of fel+ sorry for him, so +red to make
him feel better — ea YAS - he „ SS | —
Even though Dennis is th real_bully in our
school this year, we had TH NO of hen
LAST year People were constantly getting picked
the playground where kids could press a button if -
they needed +o get a grown-ups attention, —
Trang 21
Well, the Tell-a-Teacher station just ended up —_ bein 3-4 conVeni ent place for the bullies to hang out to find their next victims,
The teachers say TEASING counts os bullying, —
to0,_but T don+† think there's anyway they’ Ye
gonna puta stop +o THAT Kids are always calling each other names and that kind of thing
at mự_ school Tn - fact, ohe.of the reasons try _
to Stay under the radar_is because 1 dont want
to_end_up getting stuck with «nickname like — Cody Johnson di d
| Si kindergarten Coy steped in some dog poop
at recess, and cer shee then gap have called
him “Dookie”
Trang 22
And Tim not just talking about the kids, either
Tm talking + about the teachers and even the PRINCIPAL CONGRATULATIONS TO ˆ DOOKIE-JOUNSON-FOR— GETTING STRAIGHT A’S IN
ll tell you this: if T ever nan
Dookie, ll mave to.a different tm

from m my OLD school would move +to my new iown_ —
and ˆ the whole thing -would just s†ar+- back up again HEY! \DOOKTE1) | 2 7 ef: = | | >\ Ì The teachers always say that whe re ae+tina_ ¡ ink thats pic

The thing that really stunk was that me.and_
Rowley_used_the woods in that neighbourhood as
a shortcut +o get to school So we started having
Trang 25We did EXACTLY what the teachers are always
telling us -†o do, and comp lained to the vice - principal But Vice Principal Roy said that since
Nasty Pants didnt go +o our_school there was _
hothing he could really do about it | ⁄^ Gs wt HN MR ROY) 6 6 ——] | I eh
After getting chased.a few more times, To —_
decided T'd had enough, so T told Dad about
the situation was afraid Dad was gonna say 1
Trang 26
Dad's bully was named Bill y Staples, and Billys favourite thing to do was ph a kids arm behind ˆ
his back and hold it there until he cried
Dad said that the ki ds_in the neighbourhood
told_their_parents about Billy and they all wert to Billy's house +toconfront his mom_and dad Mr Staples made Bil ly promise to never pick on "
anyone ever_again, and Dad said Billy burst into
+ears_and_mi ght have even wet his pants Tỉ —
Trang 27
Well, after hearing that story, TI dan think Billy
Staples wouldve been any match for Nasty Pants
But T told Dad TT lked the idea of complaining +o
the bully’s parents T called up Rowley and told
heeded as_much back-up as we could get |

Dad knocked on Nasty Pants's door, and we —
Trang 28
But Nasty Pants HIMSELF came to the door,
ahd me and Rowley took off
T guess I should've described Nasty Pants to — Dad, because it took him a while to understand
that the kid who came to the.doorwas the one
who was causing us all that trouble
Trang 29
On the way home, Dad was pret mad at me for letting myself get bullied by.a kid who was still in kindergarten But let me just say inom i defence yinry
that when some kid.is chasing you with a stick — you don+ s†op to_ask him how old he is ———_
Tuesday _
They took the last piece of playground equipment away at school today We started off the year
with all sorts of things, like monkey bars and
swings.and_stuff, but nay the playground is an —
Trang 30T heard the school was having trouble paying the insurance for the : playground, so every time there was some kind of accident or Quy injury on a
piece of equipment the easiest thing todo was — _ just remove it
Tn October, Francis Knott went flying off the _
swing-se†-and landed-an the seesaw,so that taak , out two big items right there
GC) ALK
We lost the monkey bars when 4 đj irl_named
Christine Higgins climbed - tothe top and then_got
too scared +o come down |
Trang 31The teachers arent allowed +o touch kids, so —- they | had +o call Christine's parents to come a nd get her —— qa Yo S5 o
Eventually; the only piece of equipment left was
the balance beam, and T figured nobods y-could get hurt_on THAT thing But, believe it or not,_Some_
idiot wasnt ooking where he was going the other _
day, so now that's gone »_too
Trang 32
Without any playground equipment, _there's really
nothing, for us todo But the teachers wont
even le us St downy Because they- say we have to
stay Nactive
And it’s not like you! ‘re allowed “to bring in toys —
or Video games ˆ to keep yourself occupied, either —
Th fact, if you get caught with a “toy on the _ playground, it'll get confiscated Last week
somebody found_a_miniature_car_buried_in the sad
Trang 33TW A
The carhad three missing wheels, but people were
So desperate for entertainment that they lined up to_play with it while others kept lookout —Š : Re Lf a VTE > A la “| — sae BE Bel | Hư ` l k `
Now there's a black market for toys at our school
from home yesterday, and T hear a single brick will
set you back fifty cents
The teachers have banned a bunch of games we used.to_play, too Last week a group of boys.were
playing Freeze Tag, but oneof them got hurt
when someone shoved him from behind
Trang 34
So now were hot allowed †o †ouch each ¿ other or _ even RUN Today people were play ing “Air Tag"
and getting around | by sgeed-walking, but it
Trang 35Tm one_of those people who has.a hard time chà, focusing when the teacher is talking, and when "
another class is having, recess right outside the window its practically impossible to pay attention
“Wednesday

OK, I take back what T said about being glad
the playground_equipment-is_gone Now the kids _ at recess dont have anything to do, so they just
stare in through the windows And that's seriously

Tt doesnt help that Tm not exactly the fastest

named Mrs Sinclair who taught us all these great
tricks for remembering multiplication facts But
they seriously slow me_dowh
