Chapter 1 BAD MORNING!

 

  Lucy Lancaster jumped out of bed with a smile on her face.

  She ran down the stairs two steps at a time, skidded into the kitchen, and then struck a pose.

  “Good morning, Lucy,” her mom said.

  “No, Mama,” Lucy replied. “It’s a BAD morning!”

  Lucy’s mom raised an eyebrow and repeated, “Bad morning?”

  That’s when Lucy pointed to the calendar. “Don’t you remember? Today is Opposite Day at school.”

    “Well then,” Lucy’s mom said, “I have the perfect breakfast to get the day off to a great… I mean, a TERRIBLE start.”

  Lucy’s mom placed her breakfast in front of her and winked. It was a bowl of mac and cheese, with carrots and cherry tomatoes on the side.

  “Dinner for breakfast!” Lucy exclaimed. “Yum!”

       Opposite Day was going to be so much fun!

  Lucy picked up her fork with her left hand.

  “Today I’m a lefty!” she declared.

  But switching hands wasn’t as easy as she thought it would be. If she wasn’t extra careful, her mac and cheese would ooze right off her fork. Eating took forever!

  After breakfast Lucy brushed her teeth with her left hand. Then she began to change into her special Opposite Day outfit.

  First Lucy flipped her T-shirt inside out, and then wore it back-to-front. Then she put her arms through a button-down shirt the opposite way, so it opened in the back.

       Next Lucy put her socks on her hands and a baseball cap on her head backward.

  She tried to flip her glasses upside down, but they kept sliding off her nose. Plus, everything looked super blurry!

  So her glasses would have to stay the same. But when she slung her backpack on her front, Lucy was satisfied with what she saw in the mirror.

    Lucy did cartwheels down the driveway to the car.

  “Whee! The world is upside down!” she squealed.

  Once she was in the car, Lucy said, “Mama, can we drive to school in the opposite direction today?”

  “If we went the opposite way, we would just be driving farther from school,” her mom responded. “You would need magic to get to school on time!”

    Magic! Lucy knew she could make that happen.

  But today was Opposite Day. Everything true was false today, and vice versa.

  Lucy knew what that meant.

  It meant, for today, she was NOT a witch!
