Darrin, Are You Absolutely, Completely Sure?

"Darrin! Is you lunch in your backpack?" Mom asked. "Yes-s-s-s!" Darrin replied.

Later at lunch, Darrin found out he forgot his lunch. 

"Darrin, is your test paper turned in?" Mr. Fin asked. "Ye-e-e-es!" Darrin answered. 

Darrin got a zero, because he didn't turn it in.

"Darrin!" -Darrin stopped Justin from talking- "No, Justin. I probably didn't." 

"I was just going to ask you if you have a basketball." 

Darrin put his head in his hands. 
"Uggghhhh!"

Darrin's Report

Darrin sat in his seat, waiting nervously. He sweat and sweat. He got a tissue to wipe it away. "Darrin," Mr. Fin called out. Darrin wiped himself clean, he had to go up-front to say his report. He walked to the back of the room and pulled up a red wagon with a sheet on top of lump inside it.
"My report," he started, "Is on the community." He pulled off the sheet, and there was a model of the community.
Here's what he said:

"Our town is named, Frig Gina, after the founder, Freg Ginagig. Here we have many attractions, like, The Children's Museum and the Seaweed Restaurant. Did you know this restaurant is the most famous in the tank? Here the most popular sea animal is the seahorse, like you Alan. Our Lot-o-Tanks County leader, Henry Griffin, is a seahorse. We have a lot of neighborhoods here in Frig Gina. JustFrance St. in the Yucko neighborhood has the most houses. 20 down each side.  I would say Frig Gina is the best community ever!"

Martin Luther King Crab Jr.

"Next Monday is Martin Luther King Crab Jr. day!" Mr. Fin announced, while passing out books, "These books are all different, but all about King Crab. I want you to read them all, then I will pass out a few simple questions that are answered in all of the books." Darrin, a small turtle, read his story, it said:

Martin Luther King Crab Jr. was a great sea animal! He's famous for his speeches, but one was very important. Back in the day, different colored crabs in his town had to stay away from each other. They had separate oxygen fountains, separate classrooms, even separate grocery stores and fishtaurants! Martin, as a little crab, grew up like this. In the year 1963 Martin Luther King Crab's speech, "I have a dream," was delivered. "I have a dream," he said, "That one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'" One day, in Memphis, Tennessee, King Crab died. He was only 39. A man who didn't like what he said, shot him. We'll always remember King as the man who stood up for what he believed in. Think about your friends, are they different colors or different animals? Thank Martin Luther King Crab Jr., for he let you be friends with your friends. 

 Darrin loved the book. He wanted to say a speech in front of the school. He got out a paper and wrote, "I have a dream that one day we'll have decent cafeteria food."      

Darrin's New Year Party

Knock Knock Knock! "I'll go get it!" Darrin cried as he rushed down the stairs in his seventies costume. He opened the door and found some flower power, "Mo-o-om, it's just Mr. and Mrs. Rudy." "Why, hello!" Mrs. Rudy announced, "I found a young fellow while I was a'walking, so I brought him in. He is a bit shy though." Between the Mrs. and to Mr. came little ol', I mean Dean, Darrin's new friend.

"Well, let's get this party pumpin'" Mom shouted. She turned on pop music from the seventies and started dancing. "My, what a hoot you must get dancing like an owl!" cried Mr. Rudy.
Meanwhile, Darrin and Dean drank soda and watched old series shows like the Brady Bunch, or The Cosby Show, sometimes even Beverly Hillbillies!

Once the clock struck midnight, The Rudy's Fireshow started. BOOM BOOM!!! went the fireworks.

As soon as the firework show was over, Mom brought Darrin up to his bed and put Dean in a sleeping bag. "Well, t'was a good night, so, as you guys say it," Mrs. Rudy told Mr. Rudy to join her in saying this, "'Appy New "Ear!!!"
