If you Give a Mouse a Cookie












"If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk.  When you give him the milk, he'll probably ask you for a straw."

The Littles














"There was a secret look-out place behind the light switch in the hall of the Biggs' house.  One of the screws was missing.  The empty hole was large enough for a Little to look and listen through.  Mr. Little spent all the next day at the look-out place.  Tom Little stayed with him.  They were waiting for the Newcombs."

Mudshark



"The Mudshark was cool.  Not because he said he was cool or knew he was or thought it.  Not because he tried or even cared. He just was."

"This is the principal.  Would the custodian please report to the faculty restroom with a plastic shield, a hazardous waste suit and a large container of pepper spray? Also, whoever took erasers out of room two oh two, please refrain from removing erasers from two oh two in the future. Also, refrain from taking erasers from two oh four. Thank you. Oh and the gerbil was seen near the vice principal's office - she said it was "scurry-ing, very ratlike." You should not try to pick it up if it is, indeed a rat. I repeat: Refrain from picking up rats. Thank you."
