That some people think my name is Just Grace, even though it’s only Grace. This is the kind of thing can happen if your teacher doesn’t listen properly when you say, "I want you to call me just Grace." 2. That I am super lucky because I have Mimi, my best friend in the whole world, living right next door to me. And even better than that: our bedroom windows are right across from each other. 3. That I have a friend named Augustine Dupre who is a French flight attendant, and she lives with her husband in a cool apartment that is right in the basement of my very own house. 4. That I like to draw comics because they make me happy. 5. That I am in third grade, and that my teacher is Miss Lois. 6. That I have a girl dog and her name is Mr. Scruffers. She came with that name so I couldn’t change it, but it’s okay, because now I am used to it. THE BEST THING ABOUT BEING IN MISS LOIS’S CLASS Everyone in our whole class has been waiting for the day when Miss Lois says, "Today we are going to start working on the spring fair." And that is because every year Miss Lois’s class does a special spring fair project. It’s the most fun thing you get to do in her class, and the only reason why when other people find out you have Miss Lois as a teacher they say, "You’re so lucky." THE FIVE THINGS I KNOW ABOUT THE SPRING FAIR 1. It’s exciting, fun, and there are games and prizes and even giant blow-up rides. 2. Everyone comes—even people who are not in our school. 3. Our class gets to make up games and work at the fair. 4. Everyone helps at the fair, even moms and dads. 5. There is a cotton candy machine. Every Monday since spring started I have been thinking, I bet today’s the day we get to start on the fair. And every Monday I have been 100 percent wrong! HOW I KNOW THAT MISS LOIS WILL TALK ABOUT THE FAIR ON MONDAY When Miss Lois tells her class it’s time to work on the spring fair, she always does it in exactly the same way. I know this because Grace F.’s cousin Benny had Miss Lois for a teacher last year, and he told Grace F. all about it. Benny said that as soon as everyone saw the hat they started clapping and shouting like crazy, and that Miss Lois just stood at the front of the class smiling and nodding. This part of the story is hard to believe, because Miss Lois is not the kind of teacher who is okay with shouting. The part that I do believe is when Benny said it was super fun. Kids don’t lie about fun. If you looked at Miss Lois, you would never think that she is the kind of person who would wear a crazy hat. That’s why just looking at people can fool you about what they are really like on the inside. Miss Lois is full of other surprises, too, because she doesn’t just wear crazy hats—she makes them, too! And all by herself! Mimi says Miss Lois should get the gold star of making giant crazy hats, because her hats are excellent and very creative. That’s a big compliment, because Mimi knows a lot about crafts, and she wouldn’t give Miss Lois a gold star unless she deserved it. MISS LOIS’S SURPRISE I couldn’t believe it! The surprise happened today! And it wasn’t even Monday—it was Friday. Fifteen minutes before class ended, Miss Lois came out from the closet wearing her giant nest hat from last year. Instantly everyone knew what that meant—it was time to work on the spring fair. WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT GRACE’S COUSIN Benny is an exaggerator, because as soon as Robert Walters started shouting, Miss Lois pointed her finger at him and said, "Robert! No shouting." She did let us clap, though, so that part was true. WHAT IS NOT EASY When we were walking home, Mimi could tell that I was a little b
