         Tonight Mom came up to my room, and she had a flyer in her hand. As soon as I saw it, I knew EXACTLY what it was.It was an announcement that _36_. I should have thrown that thing out when I saw it on the kitchen table._37_ Those school plays are always musicals, and the last thing I need is to have to sing a solo in front of the whole school.Dad came in my room to see what was going on. I told Dad that I was made to sign up for the school play by Mom, _38_, it would totally mess up my weight-lifting schedule.
         Dad and Mom argued for a few minutes, but Dad was no match for Mom. So that means tomorrow _39_.
         The play this year is “The Wizard of Oz.” A lot of kids came wearing costumes for the parts they were trying out for. I’ve never even seen the movie, so for me, _40_.
         I did my singing tryouts with a bunch of other boys whose moms made them come, too. I tried to sing as quietly as possible and got singled out, anyway.
