Tall, Taller, Tallest

It was Not-James-Madison-Day Monday. No school. Judy poked her head into Stink's room. "Stink, I'm supposed to be nice to you." "Did Mom say?" "Yep." "Because of the newt?" "Yep. And I'm supposed to make you feel taller or something. So, Stinkerbell, how about a birthday party?" "A birthday party? For who?" "Come downstairs and see." Stink raced down the steps, two at a time.

Mom brought out twenty cupcakes on a big plate. They each had a letter on them, and all together, they spelled HAPPY JAMES MADISON DAY. Dad lit the candles.

Everybody sang the James Madison State Song. Stink blew out all twenty candles. He ate an M, an A, and half of a D. Two and a half cupcakes! "Presents!" said Judy. "Presents? It's not even anybody's real birthday," said Stink. "It's James Madison's un-birthday," said Judy. "Dad and I made you a card," said Mom. "A Presidents' Day card." "It was kind of short notice," said Dad. "So we printed some stuff off the Internet." Stink opened the card. It had pictures of short people. At the bottom of the card, Mom and Dad had printed in big letters:

YOU'RE ONLY AS SHORT AS YOU FEEL! "I found the famous Wrestler Guy," said Judy. "Thanks!" said Stink. "Now mine," Judy said. Stink ripped it open. "It's a fun mirror!" Judy told him. "From Rocky's old magic kit. I made it into a presidents mirror. One side is the James Madison side and the other is the Abe Lincoln side." Stink looked at himself in the James Madison side of the mirror. He looked super-shrimpy, and wide as a warthog. Everybody cracked up. "Try the other side!" said Judy. Now Stink looked skinny as a pencil and tall as Abe Lincoln.
