Chapter 1. And You Wonder Why We Get Called The Weird Watsons BY: Madison Floyd The Watsons go to Birmingham
It was very cold outside • “ It was one of those super-duper-cold Saturdays. One of those days that when you breathed out your breath kind of hung frozen in the air like a hunk of smoke and you could walk along and look exactly like a train blowing out big, fat, white puffs of smoke.” • “ It was so cold that if you were stupid enough to go outside your eyes would automatically blink a thousand times all by themselves, probably so the juice inside of them wouldn’t freeze up.”
Kenny and Byron had to scrape the car’s windows • “ Dad pulled two ice scrapers out of his pocket and said,“ O.k., boys, let’s get out there and knock those windows out.” • “ We moaned and groaned and put some more coats on and went outside to scrape the car’s windows.”
Byron got froze to the car! • “Keh-ee! Keh-ee! Hel’ . . . Hel’ . . . ! When he started banging on the door of the car I went to take a peek at what was going on.” • “ By was leaned over the outside mirror, looking at something in it real close. I picked up a big, hard chunk of ice to get ready for Byron’s trick.” • “ Ke-hee! Keh-ee! Hel’ me! Hel’ me! Go geh Mom-ma! Go geh Mom-ma! Huwwy uh! He banged his hand against the car harde and started stomping his feet.” • “ I moved closer. I couldn’t believe my eyes! Byron’s mouth was frozen on the mirror! He was as stuck as a fly on flypaper! • “ Momma, quick! It’s By! He’s froze up outside! I screamed, “Really! He’s froze to the car! Help! He’s crying!’ • Remember….???
Byron got froze to the car! Continued… • “Momma, please hurry up!” • “ The fly was still stuck and buzzing. Oh, Mom-ma! Hel’ me! Geh me offa ‘ere!” • “Oh my Lord’! Momma screamed. Joey, of course, started crying right along with Byron. • “Daniel Watson! What are we gonna do? What do ya’ll do when this happens up he-uh?” • “Dad said, “I don’t know, pouring water on him might be the worst thing to do, bit it might be our only chance.” • “Momma tried to pour water on the mirror but her hands were shaking so much, she was splashing it all over the place. Dad tried too, but he couldn’t look at Byron without laughing and shaking. That meant I had to do it. • I gently poured a little stream of water over the mirror. Dad was right! This was the worse thing we could do! The water made a cracking sound and froze solid as soon as it touched the mirror and By’s lips!
Byron got unstuck from the mirror! • “Momma gave Byron’s head a good hard snatch and my eyes automatically shut and my hands automatically flew up to cover my ears and my mouth automatically flew open and screamed out, Yeeeowwww! • “When I opened my eyes Byron was running to the house with his hands over his mouth and Momma following right behind him.”

Plot Of The Chapter Kenny gets tired of being bullied by a kid named Larry Dunn. That’s when Rufus comes in. Kenny at first sees him as his personal savior sent by God. A friendship is developed as the story progresses.
Kenny Meets Rufus • “As soon as the doors of the bus swung open and two strange new boys got on, I knew part two of my miracle happened.” • “As I looked at this new boy with the great big smile and the jacket with holes and the tore-up jeans, I knew who he was. I knew God had finally sent me my personal savior.”
Kenny’s First Impression • “As soon as the boy thanked the driver in that real polite, that real country way I jerked around in my seat to see what the other kids were doing to do to him.” • “I knew they weren’t going to waste any time with this new guy, it was going to be real easy and real quick with him. He was like nobody we’d seen before. He was raggedy, he was country, he was skinny and he was smiling at everybody a mile a minute.”
Rufus Gets Made Fun of • “Hiya, y’all!” and I knew that here was someone who was going to be easier for the kids to make fun of than me.” • “Then Larry Dunn said, “Lord today, look at the nappy-headed, down-home, country corn flake the cat done drugged up from Mississippi, y’all!”
