Tap! Tap! Tap!
I was asleep when I felt a tap on my head.
Then I smelled it. A horrible, stinky smell. Was a pig trying to kiss me? Did a fish fly through the window and die on my pillow? Did I forget to floss again?
Billy!
I opened my eyes.
My twin sister Jillian’s face was close to mine. Her stinky morning breath was coming at me.
She leaned closer. What do you want to do today?
I’m still sleeping.
I pushed her away. Please go say hello to your toothbrush.
She pulled me out of bed. I landed on the floor with a thump.
What do you really, really, really want to do today?
she asked. She was serious.
There was no use going back to sleep. I got up and looked out the window. Sunlight was streaming through the trees. Birds were chirping. The day was opening its eyes and smiling like a big cute baby.
What did I really want to do today? The answer bubbled up from the bottom of my soul. I knew what I wanted to do. It was a mad, crazy thing.
Go ahead, Billy,
Jillian whispered. Say it.
I spread my arms wide and said: I want to do a good deed!
Shh!
she whispered. Don’t say it so loud! What if Mom and Dad hear you?
Our parents are Ron and Tanya Crook. Yep, the famous robbers. They want us to steal, lie, and cheat like them.
Mom wants us to find them a new store to rob,
I said.
I know,
Jillian said. I don’t want to be a crook. I want to do good deeds, too.
We’re not like Mom and Dad at all,
I said.
Jillian nodded. Do you think they’re our real parents?
They steal a lot of stuff,
I said. Maybe they stole us.
Maybe they stole us from our real parents at the hospital when we were just born,
Jillian said.
I looked at myself in the mirror. I was such a cute baby, everybody probably wanted to steal me.
Jillian laughed. Let’s go to the hospital and search for clues. Mom and Dad said we were born there. Maybe we can find out if we were stolen.
I gave her a thumbs-up.
Hey, I got us new disguises,
she said.
Crooks always have to wear disguises when we leave the house. We have lots of costumes, wigs, masks, and even fake rear ends. Why fake rear ends? So nobody recognizes us from behind!
Tada!
Jillian said, and showed me our new outfits.
PeeWee Patrol Club uniforms!
We put them on.
I always wanted to be in the PeeWee Patrol Club!
I said. PeeWees do good deeds, like help kids cross the street safely and visit sick people.
"I know! Come on. We need to
