The Truth About Miss Child

We walked all over the zoo and saw a bunch of other animals—birds, snakes, walruses, alligators, monkeys. Animals are cool.

“Did you know that there are more than a million species of animals on Earth?” said my zoo buddy Andrea.

She is so annoying. Little Miss Know-It-All had to read every sign about every animal so she can go home and show her parents how smart she is.

Soon it was time for lunch. We walked back to the room where we left our backpacks. Everybody took out a lunch box, except for one person.

Me.

“Where’s my lunch?” I said to Ms. Hannah.

“Your lunch is wherever you left it, A.J.,” she told me.

I hate when grown-ups say that.

“Arlo must have left his lunch back at school,” said Andrea. “I guess he wasn’t paying attention when Mr. Granite told us to be sure to take our lunch with us.”

“I wasn’t paying attention to your face,” I told Andrea.

All the kids sat at a long picnic table to eat their lunch. Mr. Granite and Ms. Hannah sat at another table for grown-ups. Miss Child said she would get me a sandwich from the zoo cafeteria. She said I could have a turkey or tuna sandwich.

“Do you have turkeys or tuna in the zoo?” I asked. It would be weird to eat a sandwich made from an animal they have running around the zoo.

“We have turkeys in the zoo,” Miss Child said.

“Then I’ll have a tuna sandwich,” I told her.

Miss Child ran out and came back with a tuna sandwich and a carton of milk for me.

“I’ll be back in a few minutes,” she told us. “I promised the baboons that I would eat lunch with them today.”
