Is He a Girl?
“1 A Weird Girl Casey Happleton said, “If you kiss yourself on the elbow, you’ll turn into a girl.”
Marvin Redpost looked at her.
They sat next to each other in Mrs. North’s class.
Casey had a ponytail that stuck out of the side of her head, instead of the back.
“It’s true,” said Casey. “If a boy kisses his elbow, he’ll turn into a girl. And if a girl kisses her elbow, she’ll turn into a boy.”
“Can you change back?” asked Marvin.
“Sure,” said Casey. “You just have to kiss your elbow again.”
Marv...in thought about it. But he wasn’t about to try.
At least not in front of Casey.
“Does it matter which elbow you kiss?” he asked.
“Either one,” said Casey. “But it has to be on the outside, where it’s hard. Not the soft part on the inside.”
“Have you ever kissed your elbow?” Marvin asked her.
“No!” she exclaimed. “What do you think I am—some kind of weirdo?”
Marvin shrugged. He did think Casey Happleton was weird.
