A Family's Unconventional Conversation About School

Matilda Wormwood: Do you want to hear about my first day at school?
Mrs. Wormwood: Yuck. I'd rather eat vegetables.
Mr. Wormwood: It's official, I'm a genius! My losing streak is over. This fella comes into the lot. Huge he was. Great big bear of a man. And this bear of a man wants a luxury car.
Mrs. Wormwood: Oh, lovely. But do bears drive?
Mr. Wormwood: No. He's not a real bear.
Matilda Wormwood: Do you have a luxury car?
Mr. Wormwood: I've got two, boy.
Matilda Wormwood: I'm a girl.
Mr. Wormwood: One with a smashed-in front, and one with a smashed-in back. All I gotta do is cut them in half, glue them together and Bob's your chipmunk. Daddy's back.
Matilda Wormwood: [Mrs. Wormwood gasps] But isn't that illegal? And sort of, well, wrong?
Mr. Wormwood: [snatches the library book out of Matilda's hand] What'd he say? Wrong? Wrong? Give me that. The Grapes of...Idiot! How can grapes be angry? Hey? What utter junk!
Matilda Wormwood: It's not about grapes.
Mrs. Wormwood: Back-yakking! The little madam!
Matilda Wormwood: I'm not back-yakking!
Mr. Wormwood: Don't you back-yak me! I'll rip this book up in front of you.
Matilda Wormwood: No, it's a library book!
Mrs. Wormwood: Go on, do it. Go on.
Mr. Wormwood: [tears the pages of the library book] There! There! Now get to bed, you little bookworm.
