Kevin had spent the rest of the afternoon trying to stay out of trouble. This wasn’t as easy as he’d like, considering how Peaseblossom kept giving him dirty looks. But what was he supposed to do. It wasn’t his fault that she wasn’t in charge this year.

So, he kept his head down and did what he was told, supervising the kids’ games, getting snacks and running whatever errand that came up. That way everything went just fine for a couple of hours.

A little while later he felt something tug on his pants leg.
