“Are you sure you won’t try my French peas and carrots, Mister A.J.?” she asked.

“If I say no, are you going to brain me with that pepper thing?” I asked.

“Of course not,” she replied. “But you know, A.J., carrots are good for your eyes. You never saw a rabbit wearing glasses, did you?”

“I never saw a bird wearing glasses either,” I replied, “but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna eat worms.”

Andrea and her annoying friends at the next table turned around.

“I bet you’d like baby carrots, A.J.,” Andrea said. “They’re yummy!”

“Do you know where baby carrots come from?” asked Ms. LaGrange.

“Baby carrots grow out of the ground!” Andrea said.

“That’s disgusting,” I said. “Food comes in cans and jars and boxes, not out of the ground! I’m not going to eat something that grew in dirt!”

“Americans are silly,” said Ms. LaGrange. “In France I grew my own food in a garden behind my house. Say, maybe we can start a vegetable garden out by the playground, so you can learn where food comes from.”

“That would be wonderful!” said Andrea. “We can work in the garden during recess.”

Oh, great. We get twenty minutes all day to run around, and we’ll have to spend that time digging in the dirt for yucky vegetables.

I think Ms. LaGrange saw me wrinkle up my nose, because she said she likes sugary treats, just like me. She said she has a special treat in the freezer, and she’s going to wait for a special occasion to give it to us.

Ugh. It’s probably dead frogs with no legs.
