Kenny was drinking from the water fountain.
“I have to ask you my question for the class survey,” said Marvin.
Kenny kept drinking.
“Have you ever picked your nose?” asked Marvin.
Kenny coughed and spit out water. He looked up at Marvin. “That’s your question?” he asked.
Marvin nodded.
“Did Mrs. North approve it?”
Marvin shrugged.
“Darn!” said Kenny. “I didn’t know you could ask questions like that.”
“So, have you?” asked Marvin.
“Yeah, I guess,” said Kenny.
Marvin wrote down Kenny’s answer.
“I’m going to see if it’s too late to change my question,” said Kenny. “I could ask all the girls—What color is your underwear?” He cracked up.
Nick and Stuart arrived together.
“What do you want?” asked Nick.
“Don’t worry,” said Marvin. “I’m not going to try to be your friend. I just have to ask you my question for the class survey.”
“Okay,” said Stuart. “But make it quick.” He looked around to make sure that no one was watching.
“Have you ever picked your nose?” asked Marvin.
“Give me a break,” said Stuart.
“Just answer the question,” said Marvin.
“No one’s ever going to like you if you keep asking questions like that,” said Nick.
“Just answer the question.”
“Yes, I’ve picked my nose,” said Stuart. “Are you happy?”
“Me too,” said Nick. “But I don’t go around talking about it!”
