EllRay Jakes The Recess King! (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
11 BABY TALK THURSDAY “How come the wind always blows after it rains?” I ask my mom. We have just dropped off Alfie at Kreative Learning and Daycare. It is Thursday, the day after my toilet paper disaster, and the day before Alfie’s big show. Wow, I’m glad I’m not Miss Nancy today. Wait—I’m always glad I’m not Miss Nancy! But especially today, when she’s facing one of the few rehearsals left before tomorrow’s Brown Bear, Brown Bear disaster. Alfie is still saying “No way!” to the whole red bird thing. “Good question about the wind, honey,” Mom says, glancing out the car window at the bending trees and skittering leaves. “You know, I always picture a rainstorm as a beautiful lady sweeping through her castle,” she says. “Maybe the swish of her skirts creates a breeze as it follows her out the door.” Yeah, right, I think, trying not to make a face. I’ll keep that theory to myself, if anyone asks at school.
