1 Miss Banks Pulls Another Prank My name is A.J. and I know what you're thinking. You're thinking about snakes. Because that's what I'm thinking about. I saw a picture of a snake that swallowed a whole bunny. You could see the shape of the bunny in the middle of the snake! It was gross. I've heard that snakes can swallow alligators, pigs,

and even cows. Do you think a snake could swallow a kid? I don't want to be that kid. I'm afraid of snakes. My point is: it was Friday morning. Miss Banks walked into class with a smile on her face. "Good morning, students!" she said. "It's time to mold young minds!" "Ugh! Disgusting!" I shouted. I don't want my mind molded. If you want to mold something, get a tub of Play-Doh. "Do you know what today is?" asked Miss Banks. "What's today?" asked Ryan, who will eat anything, even stuff that isn't food. "It's National Standing Day!" said Miss Banks. "National Standing Day?" asked Alexia, this girl who rides a skateboard all the time. "What's that?" "It's a day when we celebrate standing," Miss Banks replied. "I never heard of National Standing Day," whispered Andrea Young, this annoying girl with curly brown hair.

"Me neither," whispered Emily, who never hears about anything unless Andrea hears about it first. "Everybody, get out of your seats and stand up," said Miss Banks. We got out of our seats and stood up. We pledged the allegiance. We did Word of the Day. Miss Banks told us to keep standing to celebrate National Standing Day. So we did math standing up. Then we did social studies standing up. I was getting tired of standing up. It felt like we were standing for a million hundred hours. "Can we sit down now?" asked Michael, who never ties his shoes. "No," said Miss Banks. "Do we have to stand up all day?" asked Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes. "Of course!" replied Miss Banks. "National Standing Day goes on all day long. It's a national holiday." "I think it's a dumb holiday," I said. "They don't have National Kneeling Day or National Leaning Against a Wall Day."

Actually, those holidays would be cool. But Miss Banks came over to my desk. She looked mad. I thought she might send me to the principal's office. But suddenly, Miss Banks broke out in a big grin. "Just kidding!" she said. "There's no such thing as National Standing Day. You can all sit down now." WHAT?!
