Oh man. You know that crazy stone Stoogles gave me and how it’s been working so well at bringing me luck? Well, it turns out that all of my friends were just playing a trick on me. Do I ever feel stupid.

How did I find out? Well, I went to school today and I was positive that I had my lucky stone in the pocket of my jeans. It was working like a charm – literally – because this morning I aced my spelling test (and spelling is not really my strong suit). Then when gym came around I was kind of dreading it because I was sure I would be picked last for hockey. But guess what? I was picked first! And it wasn’t even one of my friends who was choosing today! And to top it all off, I scored a goal! It was a thing of beauty.

When I was changing out of my hockey gear, I patted the pocket of my jeans to make sure I had my stone, but it wasn’t there. At first I thought I must have dropped it somewhere but then I remember that I had left it in my other jeans last night. I hadn’t been carrying it all day.

When I told Stoogles he got kind of a guilty look on his face and I knew there was something up. When I pressed him on it, he ‘fessed up.

That was no magic stone. It was just an ordinary old rock that Stoogles found in the park. My friends figured that if they could convince me that the stone actually worked, I would start ‘believing in myself’ (that’s how Cowabelle put it) and start doing better. They all said that there’s no such thing as bad luck.

You know what? I guess they’re right.

    If there’s no such thing as bad luck, then there must be no such thing as GOOD luck, either. :-(
