acted like I was bored and sighed. I heard little chuckles from across

“Math problems always say, ‘If you have four pencils and take

which was mostly kids from different schools.

“I’ve got another one. I told my dad I want to be famous. He said,
‘Well, you’re already known for leaving the lights on.’” And this time,

everyone in the auditorium laughed. Even my parents laughed, and they
seemed to like the show. Wait—this might’ve worked…

“Good job!”
“That was some great jokes!”

“And nice introduction, Shauna!”
