Stink scrambled into the backseat. Mom pulled away from the school and took a left turn. At the first red light, a car honked.
“I wonder why they’re honking,” said Mom. “I’m sure I had my turn signal on.” As they drove on, another car honked. And another.
Honk, honk! Toot, toot! Beep!
“Mom, do you know them?” Judy asked. “They’re all waving at us.”
“Here a beep, there a beep, everywhere a beep, beep!” sang Stink, smiling to himself. Someday, a spaceship would travel to the planet Pluto, 2.7 billion miles away. Someday.
But today, Stink was happy. Happy to be here on Croaker Road, State of Virginia, Planet Earth, Milky Way Galaxy: His own little corner of the universe.
Beep, beep!
