Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 20, 2018

P1, As weird as your haircut?

P2, He didn’t say what school she was in, just 5th grade.

P3, Smell my fingers, Coach.

P3: Oh, well if you’re trying, that’s good enough, get on back to class, lad.

Looks like Gil’s been fasting a bit?

In all reality , Let’s go find Double D and tell her what we discovered about Tiki’s fake sister ,maybe she can write a story about the story behind his story . Great idea JB !

I’m wondering of Tiki is living with his siblings — but no parents? His tardiness could be because he’s considered the “head” of his household.

Another possibility is that he could be homeless.

And yet a third possibility — Tiki is a runaway.

I didn’t know the first name of everyone in fifth grade. There was more than one class.

Tiki’s not winning games, that should be the bottom line (head waggle, one finger salute, someone toss me a few cans of beer).

To Chip, concerning Tiki’s tardies fall into the lap of GilPa. He’s not only the coach, but Athletic Director and a Gold Bond member.

P1- Why is Andre Ruffin Ready reintroducing us to Joe? I had a roommate Weird Junior. Never a film buff, no one ever accused Junior of following the norm.

Maybe the “slow sister” is a nun. Sister Mary Peacock takes forever to make the soft boiled eggs for all of the kids in the orphanage each morning.

That’s the great thing about Milford, everyone’s always concerned about the children that haven’t been seen. Oh, wait, well, some of the children at least.

Since when do HS kids GAF about their younger siblings friends like Ruffin does? That’s what’s weird. Nice clean windows though. Mop must do windows now too.
