Kathy said, “If you made it, then it must stink! You can’t cook. You’re too stupid!” She just put the cookie in her desk along with her pencils, crayons, and books.
Three weeks later, Kathy was hungry. “All right, Allison,” she said. “I’ll try your stupid cookie.” She took it out of her desk. It was covered with dust. She bit it. It was hard and tasted terrible.
“See,” said Kathy. “I was right!”
That was why Kathy didn’t like Allison.
Yes, Kathy had very good reasons for not liking anybody she knew.
But
she also has a good reason for not liking you. And she doesn’t even know you. Her reason is this. She knows that if you ever met her, you wouldn’t like her. You don’t like Kathy, do you?
See, she was right!
It’s funny how a person can be right all the time and still be wrong.

Ron
Ron had curly hair and little feet. “I want to play kickball,” he said.
“You can’t play,” said Terrence.
“Get out of here,” said Deedee.
“Scram,” said Jason.
“I want to play kickball,” said Ron.
“Well, you’re not playing,” said Terrence. “Beat it!”
Ron stomped across the playground to the hopscotch area. Jenny was playing hopscotch with Louis. Jenny was on nine. Louis was still on four, but it was his turn.
“I want to play kickball,” Ron said.
“So, go play kickball,” said Louis.
“Terrence won’t let me play,” said Ron.
Louis walked with Ron to the kickball field.
“Hey, what about our hopscotch game?” Jenny asked.
“You won,” said Louis.
“I just beat Louis in hopscotch!” Jenny announced. Leslie, Rondi, and Allison flocked around her.
“Hey, Louis,” Dameon shouted. “Do you want to play kickball?”
“All right,” said Louis. “Ron and I will both play.”
“No,” said Terrence. “Ron isn’t playing.”
“Anyone who wants to play can play,” said Louis.
