This is GA Day. (Glove Animal Day.) Everyone is going to turn up with ears in place today. Jas was grumbling and groaning about getting a reprimand. I said, “Jas, please put your ears on as a smack in the gob often offends.”

Even she got into the swing of it once her ears were in place. It was, it has to be said, quite funny. Jas looked hilarious bobbing along with her glove ears. She even did a bit of improvising with her teeth, making them stick out and doing nibbly movements with them like a squirrel. We did a detour through the back alleyway near the Science block. Elvis was in his hut reading his newspaper. We just stood there in our glove animal way, looking in at him through the window. He sensed we were there and looked up. We stared back at him. His glasses were a bit steamed up so maybe he really thought we were some woodland creatures. Woodland creatures who had decided to go to school and get ourselves out of our woodland poverty trap … But then he started shouting and raving on, “Clear off and learn something instead of messing about. And make yourselves look normal!!!”

Oh wise advice from the looniest-looking person in the universe.

Unfortunately Hawkeye spotted us before we could scuttle into the cloakroom. She went ballistic, unusually enough. I tried to explain that it was a useful way not to lose your gloves but I only got as far as “It’s a really sensible way of …” before she had snatched them off my head. She has very little sense of humour.

However the last laugh was on her because she was so busy telling me and Jas that we were ridiculously childish and ripping our ears off that she didn’t see the rest of the Ace Gang bob into school. It was very very funny indeed seeing them bob through the gates and across the playground as if they were perfectly normal glove animals.
