Favorite character My favorite character us Catherine because she is very nice to her brother and treats him well. She is also very nice to Jason. Catherine's likes to play with Jason like wheel him around the parking lot.

Plot The plot is very funny. BEGINING: It starts out with David wanting to go to the video store. Then Catherine finds out that a girl (Kristi) is moving right across from her. And David puts toys in the fish tank. MIDDLE: A bunch happens in the middle. First David puts even more toys in the fish tank! Catherine try’s to be Kristi’s friend. Catherine meets Jason! She meets him by drawing a picture of Kristi’s house and giving it to Jason. END: I can’t tell you. 

Problem (s) A new girl moves in next to Catherine. Her name is Kristi. Catherine try’s to be Kristi’s friend. Catherine wants Jason to have word card in his communication book. (He can’t talk, but he can hear.) She wants him to have cards that make full sentences. And not like: Do. You. Need. Something. (They do that in the book.)

Solution I can’t tell you, you will have to reed the book.  Catherine asks Jason’s mom if he can have a stack of cards to make full sentences like: Do you need something?

Main events A new girl named Kristi moves next to Catherine and David. Catherine meets Jason. Ryan plays a mean trick on David. (The gum trick.)

Rules for David Chew wit you’re mouth closed. Say, “thank you,” when someone give you s present even if you don’t like it. When someone says, “Hi,” you say, “Hi,” back. If you want to get out of a question distract that questioner from another question. Not everything worth keeping has to be useful. If the bathroom door is closed, KNOCH! (Especially if Catherine’s friend is over.) Sometimes people laugh because they are you’re friends or to hurt you. Sometimes you have to work with what you have. Say, “Excuse me,” after you burp.

More rules for David Don’t stand in front of the TV when other people are watching it. FLUSH! You can yell on the playground but not at the dinner table. A boy can take of his shirt to swim but not his pants. You can hug mom, but not the clerk at the video store. Pantless brothers are not my problem. Sometimes people don’t answer because they didn't hear you sometimes they don’t answer because the DIDN’T WANT to hear you. If you want to get away from some one check you're watch and say, “Sorry! Gotta go!” If you say something over and over again they'll might give in to you shut you up.

THERE IS MORE (But not here.) More rules for David Looking closer can make some one beautiful. Keep you’re pants on unless Mom, Dad, or the doctor tells you to take them off. If you want to get away with something don’t announce it first. If you don’t want to say, “Hmm.. I’ll think about it,” and maybe the asker will for get about it. Late does not mean not coming. Don’t use two words when one is good. If you don’t have the words you need barrow some one else’s. Open closet doors carefully, things might fall out. THERE IS MORE (But not here.)
