"If I call your name, please come down to the Principal's office NOW!" said Ava-Principal of Coweeman Middle School, into her pretend intercom and then Rielee, her secretary, read another list of names and told the pretend troublemakers "one at a time sit in that chair!" Troublemaker Katie, who was in the office for not listening to the teacher, got a detention slip for 1 month. Ava told her she could read a book or sit quietly and do nothing. There were a lot of troubled kids in their school, 7 kids from the Art class alone. Harper played along for awhile but left to take a bath by herself. When she got back, she took over as Principal. At one point, I was the bad kid and they said I would have to be home-schooled...
Ava later showed me her notebook and said with exasperation "it's really hard to work with kids!" then she left for her second job as a cook.
Ava said she wants to be a Principal, cook, and artist when she grows up. Rielee wants to be a teacher or maybe a Principal. Harper wants to be an artist.
