It all starts one Friday morning at the McBride family's house. Clyde was downstairs putting his backpack on. He also had a sweater with him because it was a little chilly outside. From late October of one year to early April in the next, what would you expect? Of course, it would get chilly during those times.
"You excited our little spoon of honey?" Howard McBride asked.
"You bet" Clyde answered. "There's gonna be a party at Chandler's house tonight. I can hardly wait to go. It's gonna be so fun".
Clyde told his 2 dads there was going to be pizza, fruit drinks and the participants get to experience the smell of raw sewage.
Harold commented "then you better take some protective nose-plugs for when you finish."
"No worries" Clyde said. "Besides, didn't you say you were gonna start letting go more?"
"Oh yeah" Harold said. "But I'm still a little uncertain."
Clyde hugged his dads before letting them know he'll be fine. He then walked off to school.
Upon arriving at school, Clyde went to drop his stuff off at his locker. He was humming a tune when he saw his best friend, Lincoln Loud.
"Hey Lincoln" Clyde said.
"Hey Clyde" Lincoln said. "That was a beautiful tune you was humming. What was it?"
"Thanks" Clyde answered. "That was the tune to that song we sang about us being best friends. It was such a fun song for the 2 of us to sing."
"It was a fun song for us to sing" Lincoln said. "You pumped for tonight's party at Chandler's house?"
Clyde answered "you bet, and plus, Chandler chose me to help hand out invitations to all of our friends."
"That's so great Clyde" Lincoln said. "You think you'll get the first invitation to the party?"
Clyde answered "you better believe I will. My dads are already helping me prepare for the big night."
"Man, tonight is gonna be legendary" Lincoln said. "How long before you start handing out the invitations?"
Clyde answered "at lunch."
Neither of the 2 boys could wait.
However, at Lunchtime, that was when the problem began to rise. Clyde saw Chandler with the invitations.
"Hey Clyde" Chandler said.
"Hey Chandler" Clyde said. "I'm ready to hand out the invitations for your big party tonight."
"Wonderful" Chandler said. "I got them all right here. Make sure they all get handed out, and make sure you don't leave a single one behind."
"You got it Chandler" Clyde said.
As a result, Clyde got to work handing out the invitations. All of his friends got one. When Clyde finished, he went back over to Chandler.
"They are all handed out dude" he said.
"Wonderful" Chandler said.
Clyde then replied "wait a minute. How come I didn't get one?"
Chandler answered "because you're the only black person I know, and black people aren't allowed at this party."
Clyde couldn't believe what Chandler said to him. Chandler then walked off leaving Clyde upset.
