Max was good at I’m an Animal. It took him only six questions to figure out that Mom was Mr. Yamamoto’s pet chameleon, Angus. When Mom had to guess what Max was, it took her thirty-six questions. Then she gave up.

“I’m a blobfish,” said Max.

“Excellent,” said Mom. But she did not say it in a way that sounded like she thought it was excellent. She said it in a way that sounded like she was thinking of something else.

“Max,” said Mom, “I’m going to turn on the radio for a minute, okay? I want to catch the weather report.”

Max watched out the window while Mom listened to the weather report. He counted six Ohios and two more Michigans. Then Mom turned off the radio. “Hmmmm,” she said.

That was her thinking-hard-about-something sound. “What?” asked Max.

“Nothing,” said Mom. “There’s a storm coming this way, that’s all. Are you getting hungry?”

Max was getting hungry. He wished he had not said strawberry about the yogurt. “Yes. I guess.”

“Good,” said Mom. “Because we’re almost there.”

“Almost to Pennsylvania?” Maybe road trips were quicker than he thought.

Mom laughed. “No. We’re almost to that restaurant I told you about. Remember? The fun one?”

Max did remember. Mom had circled it on her list. At the time, Max had been excited about going to a fun restaurant with Mom, but now that he had played License Plate-Palooza, he was not sure she could be trusted about what was fun and what wasn’t.
