15 Election Jitters

CHAPTER 15 ELECTION JITTERS The pre-election night is a rough one. What if no one votes for me? Not even the boys. What if I lose by a landslide? The power of ice cream is awesome. If I vote for myself, at least I'll have one vote. But every- one will know whose it is. Eric got two ice cream bars. Even he may not vote for me.

When I fall asleep, I have a nightmare... I'm climbing up a slippery giant ice cream sundae. It's a mountain of vanilla with hot fudge. Doris is sitting on top— laughing, with a cherry on her head. I keep slipping and sliding, and she keeps laughing louder and louder until finally there's a thunderous roar. And I'm covered in a vanilla landslide. I wake up and my head's under my pillow. It's Election Day!

DORIS FOR A CHANGE, VOTE FOR A WINNER! ARF! ARF!
