Somewhere down the road...
"So, guys," said Johan. "I know this gonna sound like a rip-off of something else, but I just came up with a gag." Anne and the Plantars looked at him. "The title is 'This Is How I Spend My Week'. I'm gonna say the days of the week in Italian, starting from Monday all the way to Sunday. But, I'm gonna turn stupid on Wednesday, and then make some espresso on Thursday, on Friday I'll mix in the sugar, and on Saturday I'll drink it. Sunday is a day of rest. All right, here I go."
Anne and the Plantars continued to look at him.
"Lunedi. Monday. L-U-N-E-D-I. Martedì. Tuesday. M-A-R-T-E-D-I. Me..." Johan suddenly rolled his eyes as he tugged on his hair and drooled. "What was it again?! I forgot! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Answer: Mercoledì.
"What was it? What was it?" Johan asked as he made himself an espresso using Hop Pop's tea set. "Ehehehehehehehe!"
Answer: Giovedì.
"Um, what was it again?" Johan asked as he stirred the sugar. "Eeeeeeeehehehehehe!"
Answer: Venerdì.
"I completely forgot!" Johan laughed as he drank his espresso, or rather, spill it all over his face. "Aaaahahahahaha!"
Answer: Sabato.
"Domenica. Sunday," said Johan as he pretended to sleep.
The Plantars gave him strange looks while Anne suppressed the urge to giggle.
"I don't get it," said Sprig.
"Neither do I," said Polly.
"He had a very happy week," explained Anne. "Like he started to lose track of time."
"I know, right," said Johan as he pointed to her.
"Hmph," grunted Hop Pop as he cracked Bessie's reins. "Seems like a waste of a week to me."
