Chapter 22
"Ok. Tell me. What is 10-9?" Donny asked.
"0." I answered bored.
"How's the homework coming?" Leo walked in.
"Not so good...she won't tell me anything!" Donny said.
"Then let me try. What's 1+1?" Leo asked.
"11." I answered still bored.
"2+2?"
"22."
"No, no. 1+12! 2+24! Get it? Math is really fun! Let me hear you say whee! Wheeeeeee!"
"Whee."
"She's not into this whole homework thing is she?"
"Nope." Donny answered.
"Maybe she's tired. She does have a lot of homework."
"I doubt it."
"Why?"
"10-9 is the same math problem we started with two hours ago...we haven't done a single thing in the last two whole, stinkn' hours!"
"Maybe she'd tired of math. Try spelling."
"Already did. I tried it all! Watch. Spell i."
"Q." I answered.
"See?" Donny said.
"Why don't we just skip the homework tonight, then." Leo suggusted.
"What? We can't do that! What would the teacher say?"
"The teacher!"
"What about the teacher?"
"What would she say! What does Sapphire do to her in school?"
"I don't know."
"I think we should have a little get together with Sapphire's teacher..." Leo picked up the phone and started to dial her home phone number where he got it in the phone book.
