“Is all this really necessary?” my mom asked Mrs. Dole. “With all due respect, what does a petting zoo have to do with graduating?”

“It represents the diversity of life on our fragile planet,” Mrs. Dole replied. “As they grow up, children need to respect our animal friends.”

I didn’t know what she was talking about, but it was cool to see goats and chickens and cows in the playground. Andrea’s mom rolled her eyes.

The teachers were sitting in the front row. I waved hello to Ms. Hannah, Mr. Docker, Mrs. Roopy, Miss Small, Ms. Coco, and all the others. Some of them were already sniffly and blowing their noses in tissues.

Mrs. Dole told the parents to sit down and the kids to go to the gym. When I got there, the guys had on ties, just like me. The girls had on party dresses. We had to put on the paper caps we made, and gowns too. I didn’t want to wear a dumb gown. Gowns are for girls. But everybody else was putting one on, so I guess it was okay.

“Where did your mom get all those farm animals?” I asked Ryan.

“You can rent anything,” Ryan said. “I guess she went to Rent-a-Farm-Animal.”

After a million hundred hours, Mr. Loring started playing the graduation song on the accordion. Mrs. Dole told us it was time to march out to the playground.
