“Come on, Mama!” urged Ramona, pausing in her singing and skipping. “We don’t want to be late for school.”
“Don’t pester, Ramona,” said Mrs. Quimby. “I’ll get you there in plenty of time.”
“I’m not pestering,” protested Ramona, who never meant to pester. She was not a slowpoke grown-up. She was a girl who could not wait. Life was so interesting she had to find out what happened next.”

ReplyDeleteThe kindergarten kids slayed me. Soo cute. I loved the Ramona books when I was a kid. Everything Beverly Cleary wrote was gold as far as I was concerned.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute post. Loved the kiddos, and the quote with "Life was so interesting she had to find out what happened next.” was perfect. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI want to be like Ramona when I grow up!
