Alice: Here, this is for you from Miss Bliss. Mom: Uh-oh! It's on pink paper! That's her highest priority! "Blisshaven Preschool invites you to its End-of-School Picnic! Our theme is Don't Leave a Box of Crayons on the Radiator!" Alice: The theme about Dill's feet was better. Mom: "Volunteers needed for ketchup monitors and post-ice-cream hosedown team." Alice: Can I invite Andre Chang? I want to see what happens when he gets in a Moon Bounce!

a moon bounce? He’d go up then fall. in 1 second. No, millisecond. Really, I don’t know what a moonbounce is.

I think a Moon Bounce is one of those inflatable “houses” that you bounce around in…

Andre could wear a moonbounce like a crayon wears a wrapper.If he didn’t pop it first…

Priorities, Madeline! You must go, and you should volunteer; “post-ice-cream hosedown team” sounds rather fun! Alice, isn’t Andre too big to play with pre-schoolers?

I’d like to see Loris in a bounce house. She would be a happy little blur.

Right off, I was thinking that Andre might get a bit queasy and contribute mightily to the make-a-mess theme. But after being reminded of his size, I think that maybe she’s thinking the bouncy house might fall over or get its air stomped out.

Anything like Burl Penny’s “Crayon Warmer” in yesterday’s Dinette Set.?

I’d like to see Loris and Andre in the Moon Bounce with a Whammo SuperBall…Maybe Loris by herself in a handball court with a SuperBall – that’d be one big blur…
