Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

I think I’ll move to Australia.

Is it a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day?

I think I’ll move to Australia.

Just out of bed. . . • gum in my hair • tripped on my skateboard • dropped my sweater in the sink

Breakfast • All I found was cereal

Off to school I go. . . • I did not get a seat by the window • I was being smushed! • I was being scrunched! • I think I am going to be carsick!

At school. . . • the teacher didn’t like my invisible castle • I sang too loud • I left out 16 when I counted • I was Paul’s 3 rd best friend • I didn’t have dessert in my lunch

At the denist’s office • Dr. Fields found a cavity in JUST me

On our way home. . . • The elevator door closed on my foot • Anthony pushed me in the mud • I started to cry • Nick called me a cry baby • I got caught for punching Nick

At the shore store. . . • They made me get PLAIN OLD WHITE sneakers

At Dad’s office. . . • I played with the copy machine • My elbow didn’t see the books on Dad’s desk • I fooled around with the phone and I think I called Australia

At dinner. . . • We had LIMA BEANS • “I hate LIMA BEANS” • There was KISSING on T. V. • “I hate KISSING”

At bedtime. . . • my bath was too hot • I got soap in my eyes • my marble went down the drain • I had to wear my railroad pajamas • “I hate my railroad pajamas” • Nick took his pillow back • my night light burned out • the cat wants to sleep with Anthony

The End
