Chapter Eight

French Mustaches

Maybelle does not come back until the next day at school. She just poofs right up while we are having free art in room four.

“Where have you been?” I ask her. “I have been very worried about you, like maybe Mr. Tuttle took you away!”

“What do you mean, where have I been?” Antonio asks. “I have been right here!” He is sitting next to me. During free art we are allowed to sit wherever we want. And Antonio picked to sit with me, me, me! I am making a special picture of my family. So far Antonio has taught me that padre means father in Spanish, and madre means mother.

“I did not say anything,” I tell Antonio. “I do not know what you are talking about.” I pick up a red marker and draw some lips on my paper. Right on my dad. “Look at these red lips I just drew on my padre!” I say. “Aren’t those some good lips?”

“Those are some very good lips,” Antonio says. He is drawing a picture of his grandparents’ ranch in Mexico.

“What is that a picture of?” Maybelle asks. She sits down at the top of my desk. She is wearing her glittery pink dress again. I am going to have to find her some other clothes. I do not think it is good for her to be wearing the same thing over and over again. It will get all dirty. And I do not know how to do laundry, thank you very much.

“This is a picture of my family,” I say to Maybelle. Only I pretend to say it to Antonio.

“I know,” he says. Then he wrinkles up his face and looks at me weird. “You already told me that.”
