10. Bee-having

Chapter 10 Bee-having Ms. Diz came back with the name tags. She was not happy to see Gus and Dewan playing swords again. "Drummers, settle down," she said firmly. "My bobbles are staying on, Ms. Diz," Maria reported. "And so are mine," said Coco.

迪兹小姐拿着名牌回来了。 看到格斯和杜文又在玩剑，她很不高兴。 “鼓手们，安静下来，”她坚定地说。 “我的泡泡球还在，”她说。 ”玛丽亚说。“我的也是，”可可说。

Ms. Diz looked surprised. "Hmm," she said. "That's good news." Just then Coco's mom and dad arrived. "Smile, everyone!" said her mom. "We're recording!" Coco's dad was holding a silver camcorder. All the other moms and dads began to come in. They smiled and talked and waved and shook hands. While Ms. Diz was busy saying hello, Gus pointed his stick at Dewan. "I am Zorro!" he yelled. "I am Darth Vader!" cried Dewan. "Duel to the death!" Gus shouted. They were going to have a hard time sitting still for the bee song, I thought.

迪兹看起来很惊讶。“嗯，”她说。 “这是个好消息。”就在这时，可可的爸爸妈妈来了。 “大家笑一笑!”妈妈说。 “我们记录!”可可的爸爸拿着一个银色的摄像机。 所有其他的爸爸妈妈都进来了。 他们微笑着，交谈着，挥手，握手。 当迪兹女士忙着打招呼时，格斯用棍子指着迪万。 “我是佐罗!”他喊道。“我是达斯·维德!” “决一死战!”格斯喊道。 我想，他们要安静地坐着听蜜蜂的歌声可真不容易。

And then I had another Super-Mega-Gonzo idea. Sometimes my brain amazes me. I went over to the drummer chairs. I looked around. Nobody was watching me. And Mom and Dad weren't there yet. I pulled out the don't-you-dare glue. And I put a few drops on each chair seat. I smiled a proud smile. The bee song would go perfectly. Ms. Diz would keep her job.

然后我有了另一个超级怪诞的想法。 有时我的大脑会让我大吃一惊。 我走到鼓手椅旁。 我环顾四周。没人看着我。 爸爸妈妈还没到。 我拿出了“你敢”胶水。 我在每个椅子上都滴了几滴。 我骄傲地笑了笑。蜜蜂的歌声会非常动听。 迪兹将保住她的工作。

And all because of me. "Roscoe! Hello, Pumpkin!" someone called. It was Mom. She was carrying her banana-avocado-raisin cream pie. It is not really okay for moms to call you "Pumpkin" in front of your classmates.

都是因为我。“左轮枪!你好，南瓜!”有人喊道。 是妈妈打来的。她手里拿着她的香蕉鳄梨葡萄干奶油派。 妈妈在你同学面前叫你“南瓜”是不好的。

But that's all right. Sometimes parents forget to follow the rules too. My dad was right behind her. He was carrying Hazel. Hazel only goes to preschool half a day. Little kids have it so easy. "What's on Roscoe's head, Mommy?" Hazel asked. "These are my bee bobbles," I said proudly. I wiggled my head. They stayed put. I am a genius, I thought. Ms. Diz clapped her hands and put a finger to her lips.

不过没关系。有时父母也会忘记遵守规则。 我爸爸就在她后面。 他抱着黑兹尔。海柔尔只上半天学前班。 小孩子过得很轻松。 “罗斯科头上是什么，妈妈?”黑兹尔问道。 “这些是我的蜜蜂球，”我自豪地说。 我摇了摇头。他们原地不动。 我是个天才，我想。Ms。 狄斯拍着手，把一根手指放在嘴唇上。

"Parents, please find a seat. We have an exciting performance planned for you!" All the moms and dads sat down. They had to squish into our little bitty chairs. They looked pretty silly. I was glad no one tried to sit in the chairs I'd glued.

“家长们，请找个座位。 我们为你准备了一场精彩的表演!”所有的爸爸妈妈都坐了下来。 他们不得不挤到我们的小椅子上。 他们看起来很傻。我很高兴没有人试图坐在我粘的椅子上。
