      Zeke Meeks vs His Big Phony Cousin - D.L. Green

      There should be a law against homework. After a hard day of goofing off in school, I shouldn’t have to do more hard work. And I try very hard not to. But trying very hard to avoid work is hard work.

      In class today, my teacher, Mr. McNutty said, I hope you’ve all been working on your big homework projects.

      I hadn’t. I hadn’t even started.

      This is the first time you’ve gotten to choose your own projects. They will show off your talents and interests. I look forward to seeing them and hearing your reports about them. Mr. McNutty pointed to the poster on the wall that said Dare to Aim High. He stated, Make sure you aim high and work hard.

      There was that awful word again: work. Work just wasn’t working for me.

      Each day, a few students will report on their big projects. Who wants to go first? Mr. McNutty asked.

      I raised my hand to offer to give my report last.

      All right, Zeke, you can go first, my teacher said. Who wants to be second?

      I kept my hand up. I needed to explain that I wanted to be last.

      But Mr. McNutty kept ignoring me and calling on my classmates.

      Finally, everyone signed up to do a report.

      I still had my hand raised.

      What is it now, Zeke? Mr. McNutty asked.

      I want to give my report on the last day, I said.

      But you offered to go first a few minutes ago. You changed your mind already? Mr. McNutty sighed. All right, Zeke. I’ll move you from the first day to the last day.

      Now I had extra days to worry about the big homework project I hadn’t started. I had no idea what project to do. I thought about doing a fake project. I could point to the air next to me and tell the class I’d built an invisible race car or rocket ship. I could even pretend to get in it and buckle an invisible seat belt.

      No. Mr. McNutty wouldn’t believe me. He’d probably give me a very visible punishment, like missing recess all week.

      I spent a lot of time at school trying to think of ideas for the big project. I couldn’t come up with anything.

      When I got home, I took a break from thinking. I played my Hit Everything that Moves video game. Suddenly, I got a great idea for my project: I could show the class my video game skills. I’d worked hard at Hit Everything that Moves. I’d gotten to level 23 and earned a score of 463,916.

      My little sister, Mia, started singing a song from Princess Sing-Along, her favorite TV show. Ugh. It was my least favorite show. There was only one thing worse than hearing Princess Sing-Along sing in her screechy voice: hearing my sister sing in her
