My dinner is so babyish that not even Ralph would be willing to clean it from between my teeth.

Not that I care about Ralph anymore.

Or Joe.

I don’t want to see anyone ever again. I’m way too ashamed.

When Mom isn’t looking, I pour the leftovers out the window and make it look like I’ve cleared my plate. Mom goes straight back to the stove. “That’s my hungry little starfish! I’ll make you some more.”

I hold up a fin. “No thanks, Mom,” I say. “That was great, but I’m full and I’m tired. I think I just need to go to bed.”

“What a sensible little starfish!” Mom beams. “How about I sing you a lullaby, then? That always cheers you up.” I open my mouth but it’s too late. “Rock-a-bye Harry, on the sea top,” she shrieks.

Aaaaaaaaaah! Of all the lullabies in existence, why did she have to pick the one that mentions the sea top?

“I’ve got to go, Mom,” I say, swimming for the door. Mom blocks my way with her hammerhead and gives me a big, slobbery kiss. I close my eyes and wish that I was in a terrible nightmare. At least then I’d be able to wake up. But I’m not in a nightmare. Mom pats me on the hammerhead and finally lets me go. I swim to my bedroom so fast my dopey head gets jammed in the doorway. Once I finally make it in, I slam the door and throw myself on the bed.
