      My Weirder School #4 - Dan Gutman

      The Big Race

      My name is A.J. and I hate ice cream.

      Actually, that’s not true. I love ice cream. In fact, it’s one of my favorite things in the world. I was just pulling your leg there.

      No, I wasn’t doing that either. If I was pulling your leg, I would actually be taking your leg and pulling on it. Why would anybody want to pull on a leg? That’s a weird thing to do.*

      Speaking of weird things, last week the weirdest thing in the history of the world happened. When I got to school, our groundskeeper, Mr. Burke, was sitting out in the playground on a riding lawn mower.

      Well, that’s not the weird part, because Mr. Burke sits on a riding lawn mower all the time. The weird part was that right next to him was our principal, Mr. Klutz. He was sitting on another lawn mower.

      All the kids gathered around to see what was going on. I went over to my friends Ryan, Michael, Neil, and Alexia.

      What’s going on? I asked.

      Mr. Klutz and Mr. Burke are going to have a lawn mower race, said Michael, who never ties his shoes.

      The first one to reach the monkey bars wins, said Ryan, who will eat anything, even stuff that isn’t food.

      "Lawn mower races rock," said Alexia, who is a girl but is cool anyway.

      The loser has to pay the winner a dollar, said Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes.

      Mr. Klutz and Mr. Burke revved the motors of their lawn mowers and glared at each other.

      "Get ready to lose, pardner! shouted Mr. Burke. Ah reckon Ah’m a-gonna give you a whuppin’ you’ll never forget."

      He talks funny. He had a toothpick in his mouth, too. What’s up with that?

      Kiss my grass! yelled Mr. Klutz. "You’re going down, Mr. Burke!"

      That’s when Andrea Young, this annoying girl with curly brown hair, came over. She was with her equally annoying cry-baby friend Emily.

      Hi, Arlo! said Andrea. She calls me by my real name because she knows I don’t like it.

      I didn’t say hello to Andrea because I knew the guys would start teasing me and saying I was in love with her.

      They shouldn’t have dangerous races and gamble on school property, Andrea told us. It sets a bad example for children.

      I agree, said Emily, who agrees with everything Andrea says.

      Can you possibly be more boring? asked Alexia.

      Andrea stuck out her tongue at Alexia. Alexia stuck out her
