The Reluctant Journal Of Henry K. Larsen (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Larsen MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4 INTRIGUING FACT: The most poisonous animals on earth are often the most colorful. Why? Because they want to be seen. That way predators have to eat only a couple of them before their buddies go, “Hang on. If I eat this colorful dart frog/coral snake/monarch butterfly, I’m going to die a very painful death, just like my buddy Bob!” Pretty soon everyone knows to leave them alone. Alberta is a human version of the dart frog. You can’t help but notice her; but you learn very quickly that she’s toxic. Like today in Home Ec. I sat at the sewing machine facing hers. Alberta was wearing a cut-off jean skirt with green-and-white striped tights underneath and a powder blue T-shirt with a picture of a tabby cat in a sweater, playing the piano. On her head was a red beret. “Okay, class,” said Mrs. Bardus, “today we’re going to use the sewing machine to finish our tote bags.” For the past few classes, we’ve been cutting out fabric and using fabric paint to create designs.
