Winn Dixie

Sweetie Pie was very excited when I invited her.

"What's the theme?" she asked. "Well, there isn't one," I said.

"You got to think of a theme," she told me. She stuck her knuckle in her mouth and then pulled it back out. "It ain't a party without a theme. Is this dog coming?" she asked. She wrapped her arms around Winn-Dixie and squeezed him so hard that his eyes almost popped out of his head. "Yes," I told her. "Good," she said. "You could make that the theme. It could be a dog party." "I'll think about it," I told her. 141
