分章摘要 · 12 章
Ch.1 The New PTA President:六月的第一天,A.J.和同学们正为暑假来临而高兴。Andrea因妈妈在PTA(家长教师协会)选举中落选、只能当副会长而生气。班主任Mrs. Daisy请假迟到,校长Mr. Klutz宣布新当选的PTA会长要来班里讲话——来人竟是Ryan的妈妈Mrs. Dole。
Ch.2 Ryan's Mom Is Weird:Mrs. Dole作为新PTA会长接管班级,宣布作业是给Mrs. Daisy买一份学年礼物。A.J.提议送她爱吃的bonbons(巧克力夹心糖)。突然Mrs. Dole哭了起来,念叨Ryan长大太快,还讲Ryan婴儿时期的糗事,Ryan只好藏在桌子底下。
Ch.3 The Good Old Days:Mrs. Daisy和Mr. Macky甜蜜地一起回到教室,上起Word of the Day。A.J.把“unique”误当成了“antique”,被Andrea嘲笑。写作课上大家回忆二年级的趣事。Andrea吓唬A.J.说坏孩子会被“留级”,让他有点担心。
Ch.4 Everybody Loves Bonbons:全校参加消防安全集会,Officer Spence亲自在身上点火演示“stop, drop, and roll”。回班后几乎每个孩子都送Mrs. Daisy一盒bonbons。Mrs. Dole宣布要办隆重的毕业典礼,Andrea的妈妈很不以为然,两人暗中较劲。
Ch.5 Getting Ready for the Big Day:最后一周同学们为毕业典礼做准备:做方形纸帽、练入场列队、听老师用手风琴演奏毕业歌。A.J.给毕业歌编了搞笑歌词。吃午饭时Andrea说Mrs. Daisy发胖了,责怪是A.J.带头送bonbons害的。
Ch.6 The Greatest Day of My Life:学年最后一天,大家清理课桌、互签yearbooks(年册)。Mrs. Daisy透露她和Mr. Macky要搬到别的镇、秋天可能不回来了,大家都很难过。下午三点铃声一响,孩子们冲出门,像越狱一样奔向暑假。
Ch.7 Why Is There a Square on My Head?:毕业典礼当晚,A.J.被逼着系领带。操场上搭了大舞台,还有农场动物(petting zoo)。Mrs. Dole点燃“永恒之火”并致辞,又当众讲Ryan上幼儿园第一天尿裤子的糗事。最后她隆重介绍特别嘉宾——美国前总统比尔·克林顿。
Ch.8 Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah:“总统”的讲话又长又无聊,A.J.只听进去一片“blah blah blah”。讲完话后,一架直升机降临操场,紫色烟雾和激光四起,走出来的是上过《美国偶像》的饶舌歌手——他们以前的音乐老师Mr. Hynde。
Ch.9 Mrs. Dole Goes Overboard:Mr. Hynde唱了一段毕业rap,场面疯狂。接着Mrs. Dole放鸽子、放火箭烟花,还安排了六架喷气机编队飞过(全是“租来的”)。最后校长发毕业文凭,奖励同学们可以抛学士帽。A.J.用力把帽子扔向天空——闯祸了。
Ch.10 Throwing Up:A.J.的帽子撞倒了“永恒之火”,点燃横幅和干草,Emily的长袍着火,她“stop, drop, and roll”却滚进蛋糕台,蛋糕砸在她身上灭火。农场动物四处逃窜,两位PTA妈妈当众扭打。一片混乱中Mrs. Daisy突然晕倒了。
Ch.11 Passing Out and Making Out:男孩子们扶住Mrs. Daisy,A.J.和Michael还争论要不要像电影里那样扇她耳光。Officer Spence给她做口对口人工呼吸,被A.J.误当成“kissing”。Mrs. Daisy醒来后,Mr. Macky宣布了真相——他们要有一个宝宝了!
Ch.12 The Perfect Baby Name:原来Mrs. Daisy发胖、看医生、织毛衣、搬家都是为了迎接秋天出生的宝宝。女孩们给宝宝取名Michelle。A.J.觉得“Hydrant”(消防栓)是完美的名字,因为宝宝只会尿尿,像消防栓一样。他总结这场毕业典礼其实办得还不错。
