Growing Up Daisy Book 6: Daisy and the Spring Dance
Madison always thought she should be in charge Blanca actually called her Bossy Pants but not to her face Daisy didn't like name calling and she really wanted to be Madison's friend But the more Daisy tried to be nice the meaner Madison seemed to be Mami would say that Madison was just jealous but Daisy didn't know what she could have that Madison might want Madison had expensive clothes and traveled around the world Daisy often wore homemade clothes and she had only been to Mexico Just then their teacher breezed in Ms Lilly was wearing a beautiful dress with birds and bright yellow flowers all over it She looked just like a spring garden It was hard to believe it was already spring That meant fourth grade was almost over Thinking about it made Daisy just a little bit sad But thinking about the dance made her feel much better
Dance Contest Once Ms Lilly was inside and all the students were seated she said Good morning my superstar students Today I am passing out a sign up sheet for the school spelling bee I hope some of you superspellers will participate She laid a clipboard on Amber's desk Daisy heard kids talking about the spelling bee as they passed the sheet from desk to desk At the front of the room Ms Lilly had turned her back to the class and was pulling on a blue coat and something else Daisy tapped Blanca's arm She gasped Is that a wig Just then Ms Lilly spun around in a long blue coat with shiny gold buttons down the front and a white wig with long curls
I am a famous American Ms Lilly announced Can you guess who I am Raymond seemed puzzled Finally he asked Ms Lilly are you a dude Ms Lilly turned and wrote on the board I am a dude Amber raised her hand and asked if the famous American was old Their teacher added to the board I am not old o I am a dude I am not old 00
Amber continued But you have white hair Ms Lilly reminded the class the hair was just a wig Jason asked Are you a president Ms Lilly wrote on the board I am a president As she wrote she said Very good Jason Daisy's hand shot into the air just at the same time Madison's did Then Madison shouted You're George Washington Ms Lilly wrote on the board I am George Washington Then she said Madison I do like your enthusiasm But in the future please wait until I call on you even if you know the answer to the question This caused Madison to immediately pout She crossed her arms over her chest and slumped down in her chair Noticing this Blanca whispered Madison es una bebe grande
