Molly Duff had found that if she looked as if she were thinking very hard and did not put her hand up, she didn’t get called on. Especially at school in classes she was not good at, like math. She always had her hand up if it was a spelling lesson or reading, no matter how hard the words were.brbrBut now no one had their hand up to be called on. No one seemed to know why it was an important year.brbr“Easter?” said Tim Noon. “Or Memorial Day?”brbr“Every year has Easter and Memorial Day,” scoffed Rachel Meyers. “That doesn’t make it a special year. Just an ordinary one.”brbr“Was it the coldest year in Minnesota?” asked Mary Beth Kelly, who was Molly’s best friend. “My mom said it was the snowiest winter she could remember.”brbrMrs. Peters frowned. “It may have been,” she said. “But that’s not why this year is important.”brbr“Maybe it’ll be the warmest year,” said Tracy Barnes to Molly. “Last summer was so hot we went swimming every day.”brbr“It has nothing to do with the temperature,” said their leader mysteriously. “Think harder.”brbrThe Pee Wees did.brbr“I know,” said Tim Noon. “It’s the year my uncle got married!”brbr“Pooh,” said Sonny Stone. “My uncle got married too. That’s no big deal. People get married every day.”brbr“And divorced,” said Lisa Ronning. “That’s not news.”brbrThe Pee Wees tho?×=p£× ¾Û€
