Bert slid out of bed, a little sleepy-eyed.
Some days, waking up is hard to do.
That’s when he stepped on his toy triceratops.
Ouch! Bert could tell, this was going to be one of THOSE days.
His favorite shirt was in the wash, so
he had to wear his
second favorite.
His sister was in the bathroom
for a really long time.
His cereal got soggy while he
took out the trash.
And then Noodles had chewed a hole
in his sneakers, the fast ones.
What
else could go wrong?
