Mr. Klutz Is Nuts!

inflatable moon bounce thingies where you jump around like crazy inside it.
    After water sliding, eating all that junk food, and bouncing in the moon bounce, I thought I was going to throw up. It was the greatest day of my life.
    Me and Ryan and Emily and Andrea and Michael went looking for Mr. Klutz to thank him. We found him standing next to the moon bounce thingy.
    “Great party!” I told Mr. Klutz, and we all gave him a big hug. “If you ask me, you’re the greatest principal in the history of the world.”
    “Thanks, A.J.!”
    “See, you didn’t need to bungee-jump off the school to make us learn,” Andrea said.
    “I guess not,” Mr. Klutz said. He was looking up at the moon bounce. “But I was just thinking, if we brought one of these moon bounce things out to the front of the school, and I went up on the roof—”
    “No!” we all yelled.
    “I wouldn’t even need a bungee cord—”
    “No!”
    “It’s pretty soft—”
    “No!”
    I think it’s going to be very hard work helping Mr. Klutz get over this need he has to do nutty things. Maybe by June, if the whole school works together, we might be able to cure him.
    But it won’t be easy.
