Knock on plaster

Mike called his article "Knock on Wood". He totally thinx this is clever, but I said, "When the Kelpfroths are banging on their ceiling, aren't they knocking on plaster?" He says I totally don't get his clever wordplay. I say I totally get his wordplay, & "clever" isn't the word I'd ev. use 4 it. Lame? Obvious? Tedious? But he is Dad's boy, that's for sure. When I brought up the whole libel issue yesterday, Mike was, like, "But I don't use any names, so they can't prove anything." And I'm all, "But can't they prove something by being the only people who live below Michael Patterson?" He said, "Eat your cake, April. Besides, Dee & I have no money, so we're judgement proo." & Dad sez, "Don't U mean 'judgement proof'?" & Mike sighs and sez, "Oh, so that's how U pronounce it." And I'm, like, "How is it that U have no $ NEway when U R this bigshot editor-in-chief @ a glossy mag & Dee's a fulltime pharma?" & Mike's eyes glazed over rite b4 he changed the subject. Oh, & I asked him how come he's so excited about the article now when it already ran over the summer. He said, "That didn't count cuz I don't read over the summer. I never bothered to get that issue of the paper. I'll be no1 else read it then, 2. Who can read when it's so hot?"

Mike an' Dee R pretty sure that the Kelpfroths have increased their banging since the paper came out, but they're not sure if there's a connection. Yeah, whatevs.

So Dunc was hoping he cd stay home fr. school 2day since Kimmi LaSalle threw that hot coffee in his lap & he got treated 4 the burns. But his mom sez he's missed way 2 much school already. Ger keeps going up 2 Dunc & telling him "I feel yr pain, man." He also sez he can't w8 till lunch cuz he's got a few moves he wants 2 try out on me behind the gym.

Well, gotta go, class is about 2 start!
