Mom was laughing now, too. “Is that for real?” I said. “Roberta Butt,” Mom answered, raising her hand as if to swear.
“Bobbie Butt.” “She had huge cheeks,” said Dad. “Nate!” said Mom.
What? She had big cheeks is all I’m saying.Mom laughed and shook her head at the same time.
“Hey hey, I know!” said Dad excitedly. “Let’s fix them up on a blind date! Can you imagine?
Miss Butt, meet Mr. Tushman. Mr. Tushman, here’s Miss Butt. They could get married and have a bunch of little Tushies.”
“Poor Mr. Tushman,” answered Mom, shaking her head. “Auggie hasn’t even met the man yet, Nate!”
“Who’s Mr. Tushman?” Via said groggily. She had just woken up. “He’s the principal of my new school,” I answered.
