6. Greatest Writing Ever “I got in trouble with Mrs. Maxy during class.”

7. One day, we were doing math drills in class and every time Mrs. Maxy asked a question, like “What’s nine times nine?” I’d raise my hand because I’m really good at math. But each time she called on me, even though I knew the answer, I’d just blurt out, “Can I get back to you on that?” Then I’d nearly fall out of my chair from laughing. And she’d give me that white-lipped look which meant, “Settle down.” But I didn’t and kept raising my hand each time she asked a question until finally no other kid would raise their hand because they knew what was coming between me and Mrs. Maxy.

8. “Okay, Joey,” she’d say, calling on me and staring hard at my face as if her eyes were long fingers that could grip me by the chin. I’d stare right back and hesitate for a second as if I was planning to answer the question and then I’d holler out really loud, “Can I get back to you on that?” Finally, after a bunch of times of me doing that in a row, she jerked her thumb toward the door. “Out in the hall,” she said. And the class cracked up.
