A message from Gregory the Grumpy

Hey! I'm Gregory and you've caught me on a bad day. Actually, to be honest, I've got to admit that I seem to have a lot of bad days. Things just don't seem to go the way I'd like.
For example, yesterday my Dad finally took me to see the Yankees. We got to the stadium and there was a long line just to get in. By the time we got to our seats, the announcer was already naming the line-up. Wouldn't you know it? Derek Jeter wasn't playing. I really wanted to see him play since he's my favorite Yankee. So there I am at Yankee stadium and no Jeter. Is it any surprise that the Yankees didn't win the game?
On the other hand, baseball is more fun than school. Our teacher keeps saying to me, "Gregory, sit still and finish your work." Well, maybe I would if she came up with more fun things to do. Instead we're supposed to sit quietly and read this big book on South America. Talk about boring!
