Miss Daisy Is Crazy (chapter 11)

Miss Daisy Is Crazy -- chapter 11 We Rule the School Chapter 11 We Rule the School Finally the big moment arrived. It was Andrea Young (of course!) who read the one-millionth page. We all cheered when Miss Daisy went out in the hallway and filled in the top of the thermometer all the way up to the words One million. That Friday night, everybody in the whole school showed up at school. Can you believe it? I actually couldn’t wait to get to school . . . on the weekend! When we got there, a big banner was hanging over the front door that said WE READ A MILLION PAGES! on it. Principal Klutz was waiting for us. He was wearing a gorilla suit, just like he promised. Inside there was a table of snacks and treats and juice. Miss Daisy had brought in bonbons. But best of all, the gym was filled wall to wall with video games! I had never seen so many video games in my life. Families had brought in lots of TV sets, game systems, and games, and lined them up all around the gym. We could play all we wanted, and the only rule was that you had to take turns. For the kids who didn’t like video games, there were tables of board games set up in the middle of the gym. (I think they’re called board games because you get so bored playing them.) I played just about every video game in the gym. After a few hours of staring into screens, I had a splitting headache, my hands hurt, and I thought my eyes were going to fall out of my head. It was the greatest night of my life.
