1. “Last year, I had two bestest friends. First, there was Lucille. Plus, I also had that Grace. Me and that Grace rode the school bus together every single day. It was perfect! Only… this year? Too bad for us. Grace got put in a different room than me. And that is not even fair. But I thought, hey  on the bus, we can still sit next to each other, just like always. That would fix everything! Only… what do you know? I get on the bus, and boom — there’s Grace, plopped down with Bobbi Jean Piper! My seat. My friend. Gone! Grace… excuse me, Grace… what kind of shenanigans do you call this, madam? Didn’t you see me sitting here?

 

1. "So this morning, I came to school with the special shoe Mother made me wear. It had a piggy toe window in it! (proudly) You could see my actual toe. It was spectacular.And of course, everybody kept trying to get a look at it because, duh, who wouldn’t? Except for Sheldon. Sheldon didn’t just look. Oh no. He stretched his neck out way too far. And then (demonstrates falling backwards) boom! He tipped right off his chair, landed flat on the floor, and had to go to the nurse (shakes head) It was not a good day for either of us.
