Mimi Aces Her Spelling Test
After they wrapped their birthday gifts for Mimi, Henry, Stanley, Suzie, Anne, Tom, Flip, Nancy, and Scooter all came downstairs.
Stanley raced into the kitchen to help Elizabeth, who was now over her cold, make dinner.
For supper tonight, Stanley was attempting to learn how to make beef stir fry.
About a half hour later, Stanley called everyone to supper, and to everyone including Anne's surprise, Stanley's cooking was quite good for once.
"Oh wow," Anne exclaimed. "you have proven me wrong, Stanley!"
"See," Stanley said to Anne, laughing in a jolly manner. "I told you that today might be the day!"
Only Tom & Flip pushed their plates back, they still were nervous about Stanley's cooking.
"You had better not have put knock out drops in it like Edgar Balthazar did to Duchess and her kittens in the movie, The Aristocats." Flip said to Stanley nervously.
"Or, put Valerian root in this like Trudy put into Alan's beverage just before the school play." Tom added just as nervously.
"Tom, will you please let that one go?" Alan asked now irritated.
"Sorry, Alan." Tom said, blushing with embarrassment.
On the afternoon of Friday October 5th, Mimi came home with her A plus spelling test in hand.
"Henry, Suzie," Mimi called. "where are you?"
Henry & Suzie appeared in the den from the living room.
"We're right here!" Henry said to Mimi.
"What is it, Mimi?" Suzie asked.
"I just got the greatest birthday present ever," Mimi exclaimed proudly. "an A plus on my spelling test!"
