ОглавлениеTHE BRAIN MASH
Sometimes Gobber barks so loudly and so non-stop that I literally can’t hear anything else and I can’t remember what I’m meant to be doing or saying.
It is like a hailstorm in my brain. Hailstones smash around, breaking my brain to pieces. And then my brain stops working. I call it the Brain Mash.
When I’ve got the Brain Mash I don’t know what day of the week it is, what the time is, how old I am, how to get to school, whether I need my football kit or my gym kit. Brain Mash is rubbish and on Brain Mash days Gobber doesn’t leave me alone for a second.
When I’ve got the Brain Mash, if Mrs Penfolder our English teacher says, ‘Sit down, be quiet, get your book out and open it on page 56,’ I don’t get much further than ‘Sit down.’ Then Mrs Penfolder adds to the noise Gobber is making by barking herself, ‘Be quiet Billy, Billy be quiet, Billy get your book out, what page did I say, Billy you weren’t even listening, Billy, Billy, BILLY, BILLY!’
