Losing a Bet

Elmer was considering whether or not to go find his godmother when she appeared behind him, holding a teacup. She patted Elmer on the shoulder, startling him so much that he nearly jumped out of his skin. "What's wrong? Are you thinking about something naughty?" she asked.

While Elmer was distracted, Julia reached out and patted him between the legs before walking away with a big smile on her face. Luckily, Rita didn't see it, otherwise, who knows how she would have reacted.

Elmer felt a tickle where his godmother had patted him and quickly ran to the bathroom. After finishing, he realized it was already nine o'clock. It was time to go back to school. Thinking about school, Elmer's memories seemed a bit fuzzy. He probably hadn't been back to school in a long time, and he didn't know how the principal would feel about his constant truancy.
