The New Orleans Zephyrs Baseball Read by Rachel Whitley, Assistant Director of Promotions and Community Relations featuring Boudreaux D. Nutria, Mascot

Show Transcript

hey guys Rachel here with the New Orleans Zephyrs and I've got my Boudreaux right here we are going to read chapter 4  the janitor mr. sprayed said that he said that that would vet good more trash Masher he told the principal that we could have a trash Masher or we could have the herdmans but we couldn't have both Under One Roof I can't stand around and guard the thing all day he said there's six of them and only one of me and every time I leave the basement to go sweep a floor they stop something else into it they'd already mashed up the fourth grade ant farm and the plastic dinosaurs that it and then Leroy went ahead and mashed up the good Citizen Award to once he found out he couldn't eat it or spend it or sell it to anybody else reported this to her mother and Miss Wendell who was so disgusted about the whole thing that she resigned from the PTA which my father said it's good news for the PTA  of course Miss candle can didn't come right out and say I quit because I'm mad at everybody she just said it wasn't fair for her to run the PTA talent show because Alice was she said mother could do that because mother didn't have any talented children in it does that mean we aren't talented or just that we are when is Charlie asked me and I said actually nobody had any talented children in it and they really had to scratch Brown to get kids to do anything so it was no night of a thousand stars which was what all the posters said night of a thousand stars and evening of family entertainment PTA talent show when my father saw the list of act he said he hopes there would be more talent in the refreshments and there was going to be in the show there are any Refreshments mother told him this is just an evening of family entertainment he shook his head not unless you Refreshments it won't be I guess mother took another look at the list because that night she called around for people to make cookies and brownies and cupcakes and and the next day the poster said a night of a thousand stars and evening of family entertainment PTA talent show with delicious Refreshments crowded in at the bottom  this was a big mistake because Refreshments is one long word all the Endermans understand and right away he knew that they'd figure out some way to get it then they can't Ella said they have to be in the now and they can't do anything talented they can steal Charlie said Alice looked at him the way my mother looks at the bottom of the hamster cage she said maybe not but the Endermans did it better than anybody else still it was largest see how they would how they would do it for an audience or what they would call it on the program or what they would steal because there wasn't much left and that they add an already stole it last year they were absent on October 4th and we had our Verde because for the last three years the Enderman stole the tree and the principal said said at least this year we finally get it planted even if it died over the winter  maybe they got some we don't know about I said and sure enough three days later Gladys Herdman took a pair of the kindergarten safety scissors and cut Eugene Preston's hair in the shape of a dog it could have been a cat though or horse or pick something with four legs and a tail anyway or else you grouse hunting with five legs and no tail you have to look right down at the top of his head to see it but this was what you mostly saw of Eugene plays because he was the shortest kid in the second grade or the first grader even kindergarten so naturally he got picked on a lot and if you had to choose which kid in the Woodrow Wilson school would get his hair cut into the shape of a dog for no reason you would choose Eugene of course he was already a nervous wreck from being the shortest kid around and you knew it wasn't going to calm him down to have people holler here Fido or if your spot at him and if it's hair was anything like the rest of him he would probably be this way for years so so they didn't look every Eugene a dog my father said when he heard about it I can't believe it looks like a dog who looks like a dog teacher Charlie said  I heard her tell the principal she said if it just wasn't on Eugene's head she would display it as an example of a living stop chart  why didn't you just tell that to Eugene mother said it might make him feel better to know that he's a living sculpture I don't think one thing nobody knew what a living sculpture was I hope Eugene look it up in the encyclopedia but we lived under living instead of vulture and never got past Living Sacrifice which was all about torture and that sure didn't make Eugene feel better turn Eugene I said don't be crazy no one's going to make you be a sacrifice haha you said what about Gladys Herdman he was really worried and between being worried and short and having his hair chopped up Eugene Began to Twitch and wiggle and fight his fingernails self on the head I can't help it he said it makes me feel better  actually there wasn't a kid in the Woodrow Wilson School didn't wiggle or twitch or tie knots in his hair or something Boomer Malone once ate a whole pencil without even knowing it till he got to the eraser and broke off or to some kids bang their heads to when they didn't have anything else to do and of course the herdmans bank other kids on the head but nobody did it as hard as Eugene  this was fascinating to Gladys Herdman she quit hitting him and hollering it and just followed him around everywhere waiting for him to knock himself out we all thought why do you do that all the time she asked him but you scared to tell her the truth he figured if he said it makes me feel better she would pound him black-and-blue and claim it was a my mother thought Eugene ought to enter the talent show it would take his mind off his troubles she said and there must be something he could do I couldn't imagine what except maybe stand up on the stage of these short and I never heard of a show where part of the entertainment was with somebody being so sure so I was pretty surprised along with everybody else to learn that Eugene had a hidden talent and he would perform at the talent show that is it for now thank you guys for having us hope you enjoy the rest of the book
