Summer is coming, and Clementine is not ready. She is not ready to start
speaking to her father again, because she's still mad at him for eating
meat. Instead, she gives him drawings of animals she knows would not
want to be somebody's dinner.
Then there is the new baby on the way. Clementine's mom sure doesn't
seem ready. She's suddenly crazy about cleaning (Dad says she is
nesting), but she doesn't even have a name picked out yet. Clementine
just hopes the baby won't be a dud.
What Clementine really isn't ready for is saying good-bye to her third
grade teacher. She knows Mr. D'Matz is going to tell her all kinds of
things that aren't true. Everything else may be changing around her, but
that doesn't mean that Clementine has.
But which is worse, saying good-bye, or not saying good-bye?
