Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling Great Imaginary Conversations Conducted by Louis Maltby While walking to the library - to be picked up by his mom - After his clarinet lessons on Wednesdays With Thomas Jefferson Louis: ...so you just punch in the numbers, and you can talk to anyone, anywhere in the world! Thomas: It boggles the mind! All these marvels must free up so much time for your slaves! Louis: Yeah, right...we've got to have a talk about that. With his eight-year-old self Louis: I know you love Star Wars, but it's not going to seem so cool anymore after a few years. You're going to be totally into Battlestar Galactica! Young Louis: What's that? Louis: Glad you asked... With David Wright Mets Louis: ...and Paul Kelly's like, "The throw should have gone to second, loser." David: You were absolutely right to throw to third base, Louis. And this Kelly guy sounds like an incredible jerk! With Julia Kersten Julia: so, yeah, the whole time I was ignoring you at Greg's party is because I actually LIKE you! Louis: Unbelievable! I never would have guessed! Julia: I was pretty convincing...because I like you SO MUCH! With the media, after Louis' imaginary heroic act, saving his school from a deranged student Louis: ...That's when I knew that SOMEONE had to tackle Paul Kelly and get that AK-47!
