Mrs. Master said we needed to make a thousand toilet seats to start. Then, if sales were good, we would tell the factory to make another thousand.

A thousand toilet seats? That would cost a lot of money.

We all went through our pockets to see how much money we had. Ryan had a dollar. Emily had two quarters. I had thirty-five cents and some gummy bears. We didn’t have nearly enough money to build a thousand toilet seats.

That’s when I got another genius idea.

“Hey,” I said, “in NASCAR they have stickers with company logos all over the cars. Like, Burger King will pay money so they can put their logo on the car. What if we did that with Party Pooper?”

“Burger King isn’t going to put their logo on a toilet seat, dumbhead!” Andrea told me.

That’s it. I was sick of Andrea saying mean things to me.

“Your face looks like a toilet seat,” I shouted at her.

“Oh, snap!” said Ryan.

“Here’s what we need to do,” said Mrs. Master. “We need to get investors—grown-ups who will pay money to buy shares in our company. Then, if the company makes money, the investors will get some of the profits.”

“Party Pooper can’t miss,” Mr. Cooper said as he reached into his pocket. “I want to invest my life savings in the company. I’ll chip in a thousand dollars.”

“WOW,” we all said, which is “MOM” upside down. A thousand is one less than a million!

Mr. Cooper wrote out a check and gave it to Mrs. Master.

“I’ll invest a thousand dollars too!” said Mrs. Roopy. “I want to buy a piece of the company.”

“Me too!” said Ms. Hannah.

“Me three!” said Mrs. Yonkers.

“Me four!” said Mr. Klutz.

All the teachers started writing checks and taking money out of their wallets to give to Mrs. Master. They were practically throwing checks and bills at her. I had never seen so much money in my life.

“This is fantastic!” Mrs. Master said as she counted the money. “I’ll contact some factories this afternoon. Then they can start making Party Poopers right away.”

“Of course the children will still own most of the shares in the company,” said Mrs. Master. “After all, Party Pooper was their idea.”
