**REEEEEEEEEEEECESSSSSSSSSSS!!!** Running over to the pushyerself merry-go-round and pushing **screech-owl** faster and faster and faster! Jumping on. Sticking feet out on ground to stop it real sudden and watching **screech-owl** fall off. Running right through the middle of **FairyChatMom’s and Angua’s** hopscotch game, messing up the diagram. Jumping up on the monkey bars and yelling **BOO!** scaring **Guinastasia** so she falls off. Jumping on the teeter totter and knocking **KCSuze** off. Stealing the kick ball and throwing it over the fence. Sneaking up behind **Ice Wolf** and yanking hair. [sub]Then Principal Zotti yanks me by the arm and takes me into the Principal’s Office again, calls my parents and tells me I can’t go outside for recess for a whole month, **again!** Stupid school won’t let me have any fun.
