it's the first day
of Summer vacation,
peanut butter.
I live on peanut butter
sandwiches,
So my sweat smells
like peanut butter
Instead of B.O.,
which is fine.
I'd rather smell like a school
cafeteria than a school gym.
In two weeks, I turn 13,
Which is kind of a big deal
if you've ever been 12.
I'm pretty sure there's
a secret handshaking
You learn when you're a teen
like a seal of approval
Or a sign that says,
"congrats, you're in the club,
Even if you smell
like peanut butter. "
Knock yourself out, kid.
Everyone should have
a collection.
That's what my dad
always said.
My dad collected used furniture
and was always on the hunt
For a 13-cent stamp
issued in Hawaii in 1913.
There is only 13 in existence
so, you know,
Jackpot if you find one.
Even my best friend Lizzy
has a collection.
Yes,
my best friend's a girl,
And, no, I don't have a crush
on her.
Ru-u-u-u-n!
And when I say Lizzy collects,
I mean she steals.
I'm pretty sure one day
she'll get us arrested,
But for now she only takes
stuff that no one would miss,
Stuff like playing cards
and banana stickers.
Well, well, ahoy there,
Summer vacationers.
Dad,
you're embarrassing me.
Really? Because
when I said it yesterday,
You thought
it was very funny
You did.
Alright, fine.
Well, I have your... my
magazine. Right, thank you.
You're reading
"teen fashion"?
And I have a package for you,
master fink.
Oh...
Ah, wait a minute.
Now it says it's for your
birthday,
But it's addressed to your mom,
and it's registered mail,
So that means it has
to be signed by...
An adult. Correct. So I'm sorry.
Well,
my mom's at work all day,
You know that,
And I don't think
she would mind if I signed it.
well, you are
as tall as some adults,
And you're almost 13.
Dad?
You're being a pain.
okay. Fine then.
Sign right there.
The pen's in there.
And, you young lady,
I expect your chores to be done
By the time
I finish my route.
Yes, sir.
Right away, sir.
All right,
now make like bananas and split.
Yes.
Wait, Lizzy, we have to pack
this up neatly
So my mom doesn't know
we opened it.
What the heck?
Lizzy, look at the date.
That's the day
your dad died.
I can't believe
it's been five years.
Oh! Ahem,
"scientists believe black holes
Might be the key
to time travel. "
You need to put this
in your file.
I already have it in my file.
I clipped it
on the week of his funeral.
Wait,
there's a letter.
"from the law offices
of Liam Goffanine Esquire.
"dear Elaine, I know I wasn't
supposed to send this
"until Jeremy's birthday,
