Natalie And The Downside-Up Birthday - Plot & Excerpts
Only very much longer than regular. This might could be on account of I am waiting for our teacher to make a ’nouncement about how tomorrow is February 4, and we will have a birthday party for me with cupcakes. I know this is what happens. Other kids in my very own classroom already had their birthdays. And we got ’nouncements about it and mostly cupcakes. Miss Hines makes the ’nouncement a day ahead of time so we can be excited about it all night. But we are almost at the end of the day. And Miss Hines still hasn’t made the birthday ’nouncement. My stomach is starting to feel twitchy in a not-good way. Like, what if the kindergarten birthday ’nouncement rule changed? And there can’t be any more birthday cupcakes in the classroom? Or, what if Miss Hines forgot that part about the ’nouncements? Or, maybe she doesn’t know that tomorrow is Month Number Two and Day Number Four. Or, what if— “Class,” Miss Hines says in her big voice, “please be quiet. I have an announcement.”
