Except for I don't know why. 'Cause I only ate three of those softy guys and that's all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe carts at the grocery store have seats in them. That's where babies sit. Only not me. 'Cause big girls get to walk all by theirselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd guess what else? One time Mother even let me push the whole big cart without any help.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcept for then some baked beanies got knocked off their shelf. And a grandma got her foot caught in my tire. And so now I have to wait till I'm bigger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy favorite aisle is where the cookies are. That's 'cause sometimes there is a lady at a table there. And she gives me and Mother cookie samples. And we don't even have to pay for them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir name is freebies, I think.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly too bad for me.

When we get home, we're going to bake our own cookies for Grandparents' Day, remember? Won't that be fun?\" she asked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI made my shoulders go up and down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's  'cause I was still mad at her for not taking me to my teacher's house, of course.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"What kind of cookie mix do you want?\" asked Mother.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI did a frown at her. \"I don't even want to bake cookies anymore\" I said. \"'Cause you still won't take me to where Mrs. lives.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMother rumpled my hair. \"Staying mad isn't going to change things, Junie B.,\" she said. \"Now do you want to pick out the cookie mix? Or shall I?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen Mother picked out some cookie mix. And she gave it to me.

And me and her had a little talk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA little talk is when Mother is mad at me. And she says who do I think I am, missy? And zactly how long so I think she's going to put up with me?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen I have to say a 'pology to her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 'pology is the words \u003ci\u003eI'm sorry\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcept for you don't actually have to mean it.

And I put it in the cart very nice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"That's better,\" she said. \"Thank you.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou're not welcome, I said inside my head.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen I smiled to myself. 'Cause Mother can't even hear me in there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter that, me and her went around the corner. And I saw my most favorite thing in the whole world!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd its name is the water fountain!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hey! I need a drink!\" I said very excited.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen I runned right over there. And I hopped up on the little step.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Need some help?\" called Mother.\u003cbr\u003e\"No,\" I said. \"'Cause I'm almost six years old, that's why. And so I already know how to work this big guy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"And here's another thing I know,\" I said.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"No putting your mouth on the water spout. Or else germs will get inside you. And you will die.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI smiled very proud. \"Paulie Allen Puffer told me that,\" I explained.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen I bended my head over the fountain. And I drank for a very long time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hurry up, Junie B.,\" said Mother. \"I need to get the shopping done.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI wiped my mouth off with my arm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yeah, only I can't hurry up. Or else I might a stomachache and spit up water. 'Cause a boy named William did that on the playground yesterday.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMother looked at her watch. \"Okay. Well, I'm going to be right here in the cereal aisle. As soon as you've finished drinking, come directly back to me.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Okey-dokey,\" I said very happy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen I turned around and drinked and drinked and drinked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcept for then I started feeling a little bit sickish. And so I had to sit down on the little step and rest my water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's when the big front doors of the grocery store opened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd guess what?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy eyes almost popped out of my head, that's what!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Cause I saw a big shock!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd its name was Mrs.!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy real live teacher named Mrs. was at the grocery store!","brand":"Random House Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304291356901,"sku":"NP9780679851013","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780679851011.jpg?v=1730756868","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/junie-b-jonesisbn-9780679851013","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
