“Then we came home and I looked at the result,” I said.

“And what was the result?” asked Mr. Docker.

“The fish was dead.”

“No food, eh?” said Mr. Docker.

“Well, I gave it plenty of water,” I said.

“And your conclusion?”

“Without food, living things die,” I said.

“Awesome experiment!” Ryan whispered when I got back to my seat. “You should get the Nobel Prize.”

Andrea stood up, like she was all mad.

“That was no experiment!” she said. “You just forgot to feed your fish and you killed it! You’re such a dumbhead!”

“Oh, you sing to flowers and you call me a dumbhead?” I said right back. “Flowers don’t even have ears!”

Mr. Docker told me and Andrea to calm down.

“I feel bad about your fish, A.J.,” he said. “But I must admit, you used the scientific method. So I’m giving you an A.”

I stuck my tongue out at Andrea. Ha-ha! In her face! She spent the whole vacation working on a dumb experiment while I was having fun boogie boarding! And I still got an A! Nah-nah-nah boo-boo on her! It was the greatest moment of my life.

“What kind of fish was it?” Mr. Docker asked me.

“A sucker barb,” I said, and everyone laughed just because “sucker” is a funny word.

“Can you tell us anything about sucker barbs, A.J.?”

I didn’t know a thing about sucker barbs. I never even paid any attention to our fish. That’s probably why I forgot to feed it before we went on vacation.

“I’ll look sucker barbs up in my dictionary,” said Andrea. She started flipping through the pages. “S…S-H…S-P…S-T—”

Suddenly Andrea stopped and screamed.

“What’s the matter, Andrea?” asked Mr. Docker.

“Somebody drew a mean picture in my dictionary!”
