      I have to say that this is the sort of book I turn my nose up at. My nearly 7 year old daughter had some friends reading the series at school. From what she related to me it seems that the book is full of "funniness" - the kind that is right up elementary school boy alleys. For example sticking carrots up ones nose and then later eating them. We had a great discussion about how these sorts of books are good "palette cleansers" of sorts. Something fun and frivolous between more engaging books. Books that can make your mom squirm just knowing you have it under your covers with a flashlight at night! I love playing into the fact that she think I consider this completely taboo and she feels she is getting away with something great. No amazing piece of literature - but a good fun read.

      Kid approved!

    A Pretty Normal Lunch

    My name is A.J. and I hate school.

    Which do you hate more, my friend Ryan asked me, school or vegetables?

    Hmmm, that’s a hard one, I said. I really hate them both.

    I hate school more than vegetables, said our friend Michael, who never ties his shoes, because we don’t have to sit inside a vegetable all day and learn stuff.

    Good point, I agreed.

    I hate vegetables more than school, Ryan said, "because we don’t have to eat the school."

    That made perfect sense too. I couldn’t make up my mind.

    We were in the vomitorium. It was a pretty normal lunch at Ella Mentry School. Ryan stuck carrot sticks in his mouth and said, Look, I’m a walrus! Michael put a spoon on his nose, and it hung there. I dared Ryan to put pickle chips on his Tater Tots and eat them. Ryan will eat anything.

    Michael dared me to shoot a straw wrapper at Andrea Young, this girl at the next table who is really annoying. The wrapper hit Andrea in the head. She screamed and knocked her apple juice on the floor.

    Just at that moment, Andrea’s annoying friend Emily was walking by with her tray. Emily slipped on the juice and fell on her butt. As she was falling, she knocked over a whole rack of lunch trays. Crash!

    Ouch! Emily shouted. I bumped my mouth. My tooth is loose!

    I don’t know why, but when people fall on their butt, it’s hilarious. Me and Ryan and Michael just about exploded trying not to laugh. Emily started crying. That big crybaby. She wasn’t even hurt, and her tooth was probably loose before she fell.

    Mrs. McGillicuddy, the lunch lady, came running out.

    What’s going on? she screamed. Can’t you kids behave?

    Mrs. McGillicuddy is the meanest lunch lady in the history of the world. She’s always yelling at us to clean off our table, be quiet, and stop throwing food. She’s no fun at all.

    Mrs. McGillicuddy must not have seen the apple juice on the floor when she came running out. She slipped on it and fell on her butt too.

    It’s even funnier when grown-ups fall on their butts, especially mean grown-ups like Mrs. McGillicuddy. Everybody was cracking up.

    You kids are driving me crazy! Mrs. McGillicuddy shouted. That’s the last straw! I quit!

    She was totally wrong. There were plenty of straws right there on the lunch
