The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things Chapter 6 Summary

  • Introducing Mr. Moony, the geometry teacher and oldest human alive, who sings silly songs using his students' names.
  • Virginia asks him for a pass to the computer cluster, which he gives to her, but not without singing "Carry me back to old Virginny."
  • Who should be in the computer cluster, playing with new software, but Froggy Welsh?
  • Krishna, the computer lab monitor, mentions that Froggy's a graphic design whiz and will be a millionaire before he's twenty.
  • Not wanting to seem like she's stalking him, Virginia asks for another pass and goes to Ms. Crowley's office to help grade papers.
  • Virginia tells us about the Model Brewster Student award, which Brie Newhart always wins, despite the fact that she's not at all kind and generous, which the MBS is supposed to be.
  • Ms. Crowley's leaving, but she lets Virginia hang out there for the rest of the period.
  • Looking out the window, she sees Brie Newhart in the courtyard, being popular and smoking a cigarette.
  • In the meantime, Virginia hasn't heard from her one friend, Shannon, in days.
