“You better finish this for homework,” she said. “And what are you whispering to yourself about, Willie?”
“About the problems,” he said. “I don’t understand them.”
That really upset Mrs. Tealso. She prided herself on making kids understand. “Then why didn’t you ask me for help at the beginning of the period, Willie? Now there’s no time left to explain. Unless,” she said hopefully, “you could stay after school?”
The thought of sitting still an additional hour made Willie shudder. Quickly, he said, “No, thanks, Mrs. Tealso. I’ve got to get home to walk my dog.”
C.S. Adler, Willie, the Frog Prince

“Sleep was a bumpy road for Willie that night. In between dozing and leaning out the window to plead with Booboo to be quiet, Willie was kept awake by his dog’s howls, yowls, whines, whimpers, barks, yips, and moans. Booboo’s range of loud noises was impressive.”
C.S. Adler, Willie, the Frog Prince

“I promised this girl I’d bring her my tape player so she could dance to it, but Dad won’t let me.”
“A girl? You have a girlfriend?” Mom sounded delighted.
“She isn’t my girlfriend,” Willie said. “She already thinks I’m a goofball, and now she’ll be mad at me about the tape player.”
“Call her and apologize.”
“I don’t know her telephone number.”
“What’s her last name?”
“I forget. She’s new.”
“Well, where does she live?”
“I don’t know the address exactly.”
“Oh, Willie!” Mom laughed. “What a way to conduct your love life.”
C.S. Adler, Willie, the Frog Prince
