That’s true. Calvin doesn’t spell good.

Calvin and I put on the T-shirts.

I take another bite of my donut. Well, not really a bite, more of a nibble. I don’t want to get jelly on Calvin’s T-shirts.

“It’s good,” I tell Mrs. Waffle. “It’s really good.”

“And really messy,” she says. “Maybe that’s why my boss kept telling me, ‘Just one squirt. Just one squirt.’”

We drink some milk, eat some cookies with sprinkles, and eat another donut. I bite into this one over the sink. We also do our homework.

“Mom,” Calvin says when we’re done. “Danny and I are going out. We’re going to look for Lollipop.”

“You’re still hungry? You can eat candy after all that cake?”

Calvin tells her that Lollipop is the name of Mrs. Cakel’s dog and then we leave.

We get to Mrs. Cakel’s house and I tell Calvin, “We’re two dogs and we’re hungry. Where will we go to get something to eat?”

“Ruff! Ruff!”

“I’m serious. Where would a hungry dog go for food?”

“Ruff! Ruff!” Calvin says again.

There is no car in Mrs. Cakel’s driveway so we know she’s not home. We both stand in front of her house and think.

“The garbage,” Calvin says. “Dogs, cats, raccoons, and bears all will eat from garbage pails. Maybe someone on this block has a can with a loose lid.”

“I can’t imagine the dog on those posters with its poodle haircut eating garbage. I can’t imagine her eating crusts of bread and licking sticky candy wrappers. And if Lollipop was right here, why wouldn’t she go home?”
