Booger Bunny
()
About this ebook
Carter Pinwheel is on another hilarious adventure while visiting his grandmother for a week!
Could I have a Booger Bunny? Carter can’t help but wonder after his cousins clue him in on exactly what a Booger Bunny is. “Boogers that end up picked, flicked, wiped, and bounced away are pulling together to make your Booger Bunny. A Booger Bunny is a lot like a dust bunny, but Booger Bunnies can be mischevious and viscious,” Emily told him.

For Jeffrey
Thank you for fixing my driveway.
Chapter 1
As soon as I got home from school, I knew something was wrong. My mom was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of herbal tea. She only does that when she’s stressed out.
How was your day?
She asked without looking up.
Good. Yours?
I was really afraid to ask.
You know Carter, I’m getting sick of treating you like a baby. I feel like I have to watch you every second of the day.
Then don’t treat me like a baby,
I smiled.
I don’t have a choice. I went in your room to change your bedding before I left, and I found your booger-wall. It’s really disgusting. Carter, you’re not a baby anymore! You know how to use a tissue. Don’t you?
Mom! I didn’t put any boogers on the wall! I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Yeah, well I don’t believe you. It’s your room, your wall, and your boogers. You’re cleaning it,
she pointed at me.
I didn’t do it, but I’ll clean the mess I guess. Wait, where are you going?
Moon won first place on that essay she has been working on, and she gets a week in Orlando, Florida.
You’re going too?
Well, your dad can’t go; he has to work, and I can’t send her alone. I’ll be chaperoning the trip. Moon worked very hard on this essay, and you’d better congratulate her,
my mom said.
Yeah,
I rolled my eyes. So it’ll just be dad and I for the first week of summer vacation. A boy’s week will be fun.
You’ll be staying home with dad this weekend, and he’ll be taking you to Grandma Pinwheel’s on Sunday. You’ll be staying with her for the week. She needs help getting the vegetable gardens in, and there are tons of sticks that need picking up after last week’s wind storm.
What? Are you kidding me? Grandma Pinwheel has that creepy cat! I’m not staying there for a week,
I shook my head.
Oh it’ll be fun,
my mom laughed. Your cousins Spencer and Emily will be there too.
Spencer? Mom, the last time I saw him, he was wearing black eyeliner. He’s even creepier than Grandma’s cat!
Oh Carter, cut it out. Spencer was just trying to find himself. He’s a unique individual, and Grandma Pinwheel said he isn’t doing that anymore. I happen to think Herman is a lovely cat.
No way. Our cat Bonkers is a nice cat. He’s a nice, normal tiger cat. Grandma’s cat is skinny and weird, and I swear that he stalks me at night. He’s creepy, mom, seriously. I’m a seventh grader now. I shouldn’t have to go to my Grandma’s for a week. I’m old enough to be home alone for a week.
Yeah,
she laughed. "It’s the summer between sixth and seventh grade. You still have a lot of growing up to do this summer. To be quite honest, I don’t feel comfortable leaving you home alone yet. I’m still not sure if you had a part in ruining your sister’s birthday party last month but I have a feeling that you did, and I’m still a little mad about the prune incident."
Dad will be here,
I tried to convince her one last time.
Only at night. I can only imagine what kind of trouble you can get into while he’s at work. Maybe I would have considered it, but that booger mess on the wall upstairs only proves that you’re still not mature enough to be home alone.
I can’t wait to tell Gil and my other friends that I’m going to be babysat by my Grandma for a week.
I sulked toward my room.
Just tell them you’re going to be helping your Grandma with her gardens, which is the truth. Don’t forget the bowl of soapy water and the scrubber on the counter next to it.
My sister Moon is a real pain. She’s always ruining everything. Spending a week at Grandma Pinwheel’s wasn’t a great way to start out my summer. Moon still blames me for ruining her birthday party. I guess I was partially responsible. My friend Gil gave me some gas inducing candy which transformed Moon’s party into a real Farty Party.
Ba-Ha-Ha,
I laughed out loud to myself as I recalled the prissy girls as they farted out of control. I did give them the candy, but I didn’t think it would turn into the calamity that it did. The prune incident was absolutely not my fault! Kenny was terrorizing me in the store and I ran out with the prunes under my arm. I forgot they were there. It’s not fair at all that I can’t stay home based on these facts alone. I don’t think that any of it deserves the punishment of Grandma’s house.
Mom, this is gross! I didn’t do this,
I yelled as I dipped the scrubber in the bowl of soapy water.
There was a three foot section of wall next to my bed that looked like someone had painted with boogers. A person couldn’t even do this in one night. It would have taken months to produce this much mucous and snot to plaster this size wall.
Eww,
I cringed as I started to scrub at the dried on boogers with my scrubby
