Mallory McDonald, Super Snoop - Laurie Friedman
A Word from Mallory
This is Mallory McDonald, like the restaurant but no relation, age 10, reporting on location from 17 Wish Pond Road. If you don’t know where that is, I’ll tell you—it’s my house. And if you don’t know why I’m reporting the news, I’ll tell you that too. It’s because I have a lot of news to report.
The first item to report is that my mom and dad are going on vacation.
That’s right. My parents, Harry and Sherry McDonald, claim they need a getaway.
So they’re getting away
for a week, and they say they’re looking forward
to it.
The next item worth reporting is that our babysitter, Crystal, is coming to stay with my brother, Max, and me while our parents are gone.
The reason that’s worth reporting is because Crystal is fun (well, more fun than my parents) so to be honest, I am looking forward
to my parents' getaway
as much as they are.
And in bigger news: Max has a girlfriend!
In case you missed it the first time, I’ll repeat it: MAX HAS A GIRLFRIEND!
That’s right! My brother, Max, and our next-door neighbor, Winnie, are boyfriend and girlfriend. Max says they are official.
I’m not 100% sure what official
means, but what I am sure about is that they are officially
spending a lot of time together, and when they’re together, they don’t want me anywhere near them. I’m also not sure what they do when they’re together, but I, Mallory McDonald, plan to find out.
I only have one thing to say on that topic: stay tuned!
DETECTIVES,
INC.
Brush your teeth,
Mom says to Max and me.
Don’t worry!
my babysitter, Crystal, says for what I think is the fourth time but feels more like the four hundredth time. She gives Mom a don’t-worry-everything-will-be-fine-while-you’re-gone look.
But if you ask me, Mom still looks worried.
Do your homework,
she says. And don’t forget to floss and go to bed on time.
I think she’s about to say something else, like eat your vegetables.
But Crystal interrupts her. Don’t worry, Mrs. McDonald. Everything will be fine.
She guides my mom to the door like Mom is dropping off her child on the first day of kindergarten and it is time for her to go home.
Dad picks up the suitcases while Mom kisses Max and me good-bye for what I know is the four hundredth time.
Mom looks at Max and me. I expect you two to treat each other extra nicely while we’re gone.
She says it like it’s possible we would treat each other extra not-so-nicely just because they will be gone.
The truth is, we don’t know how to treat each other when my parents are gone because they have never left us before. This is the first time my parents have ever gone away for a whole week, so I can see why Mom might be worried. But I don’t think I’m the one she needs to worry about.
You should be telling this to Max,
I say to Mom. I make a face like I would never do anything wrong, especially while they are gone.
Max rolls his eyes.
Mom smiles. Just be good to each other, and listen to Crystal.
Don’t worry!
Max and I say at the same time. Max and I almost never agree on anything, but I know neither one of us like long good-byes, especially when it involves my parents telling us all the things we should and shouldn’t do while they are gone.
Dad waves and blows us both a kiss. Then he takes Mom’s arm and they go.
I’m out of here,
Max says as soon as we hear their car roll away. He looks in the mirror over the table by the front door, combs his hair with his fingers, and then walks out.
That was fast,
says Crystal when the door slams shut.
I shrug like I’m used to that sort of thing. Did you notice how he had to fix himself up before he left?
I ask Crystal.
She smiles. Now that you mention it, I did. It was sort of an un-Max-like thing to do, wasn’t it?
"It was completely unlike the old
