The auditorium is standing room only. As the curtain goes up, I wonder if I’ve made a horrible mistake. But you know what? Once I start playing, it’s actually kind of fun. By the end we are totally rocking, in a kazooish kind of way.

Our rendition of “La Bamba” comes in second place. We were robbed. Oscar White from the eighth grade wins. His “tap dancing” was a total joke, but the judges were swayed by the enormous effort he obviously put into his ridiculously sparkly costume.

“That was a blast,” someone from my class calls out as we walk back to the car.

“Thanks,” I say. I have a short but convincing vision of becoming the most popular boy in my class.

“Celebratory fast food?” Dad offers.

“Absolutely,” I reply.

I climb into the front seat, and Dad gets behind the wheel.

“You looked like a jerk, Frank,” comes a voice from the back.

“Elizabeth! So you saw us play?” Dad asks.

“Hey, aren’t you mad at her?” I ask.

“But it was fun.” He laughs. “And maybe the school wasn’t ready for the Spits, anyway.”

“See?” Elizabeth agrees. “I did this family a favor.”

“I wouldn’t go that far,” Dad says. “So how about that burger?”

“I hate that kind of food,” my sister replies. “Can’t we go somewhere else?”

“Not fair,” I say. “You don’t get to choose.”

To stop the bickering, Dad takes us to his favorite Japanese restaurant. He knows we both love sushi.
