04 In a Nark

In a Nark DON'T TREAD ON ME Judy found her mom, dad, and Stink in the checkout line. Dad was getting a ship-in-the-bottle kit to make a model of the Beaver. Mom was buying stuff to sew a cross-stitch pillow of the Paul Revere statue with the Old North Church in the background. Stink was holding a tin of Boston Harbor tea and waving a flag with a snake on it that said, DON'T TREAD ON ME. Judy paid for her hat (with Stink's money),

and they walked to the snack bar. "You owe me four dollars and ninety-seven cents plus tax," said Stink. "Tax! Mom! Dad! Stink's going all British on me. I need a raise in my allowance so I can pay Stink back." "We'll talk about more allowance when we get home," said Mom. "Time for lunch," said Dad. "I need a coffee." "Not tea?" asked Mom. "Just being loyal to my country," Dad said. "Can I try coffee?" asked Judy. "I want to be loyal to my country, too." "Dream on," said Dad. "How about tea?" "How about chocolate milk," said Dad.

"C'mon," said Tori. "Let's collect more Ben Franklin sugar packets." While the grownups

talked and Stink blew bubbles in his un-Revolutionary chocolate milk, Judy and Tori sat at an empty table and spread out all the sugar packets. A penny saved is a penny earned. Don't cry over spilled milk. Fish and visitors stink after three days. "Let's make up our own!" said Judy. She wrote on the backs of the packets: A Penny Saved is never as much as Stink has. Fish and little brothers stink after three days.

"Crikey! That's jolly good!" said Tori. She made one up, too: Don't cry over spilled chocolate milk. Judy taught Tori how to play Concentration with sugar packets. Tori showed Judy how to build a sugar-packet castle. When it came time to go, Judy did not want to leave her new friend. "Mom? Dad? Can Tori come back to the hotel with us?" Judy asked. "Or can Judy go swimming at our hotel with us?" Tori asked her mom. "Can Tori come to Chinatown with us tonight?" "Can Judy sleep over at our hotel? We can sleep on the floor like we do in our flat at home." Mom looked at Dad. Dad looked at Mom. "I
