Alice: Here, this is for you from Miss Bliss. Mom: Uh-oh! It's on pink paper! That's her highest priority! "Blisshaven Preschool invites you to its End-of-School Picnic! Our theme is Don't Leave a Box of Crayons on the Radiator!" Alice: The theme about Dill's feet was better. Mom: "Volunteers needed for ketchup monitors and post-ice-cream hosedown team." Alice: Can I invite Andre Chang? I want to see what happens when he gets in a Moon Bounce!

a moon bounce? He’d go up then fall. in 1 second. No, millisecond. Really, I don’t know what a moonbounce is.

I think a Moon Bounce is one of those inflatable “houses” that you bounce around in…

Priorities, Madeline! You must go, and you should volunteer; “post-ice-cream hosedown team” sounds rather fun! Alice, isn’t Andre too big to play with pre-schoolers?

Right off, I was thinking that Andre might get a bit queasy and contribute mightily to the make-a-mess theme. But after being reminded of his size, I think that maybe she’s thinking the bouncy house might fall over or get its air stomped out.

I’d like to see Loris and Andre in the Moon Bounce with a Whammo SuperBall…Maybe Loris by herself in a handball court with a SuperBall – that’d be one big blur…
