I put my napkin down and started to get up. But before I was out of my chair, I saw Lefty’s soup<br />
bowl rise up into the air.<br />
Oh, no! I thought.<br />
I knew instantly what was happening.<br />
My idiot brother had made himself invisible, and now he thought he was being funny, trying to<br />
scare the daylights out of everyone at the table.<br />
The soup bowl floated up over Lefty’s place.<br />
I stood up and lunged for it and pulled it down as fast as I could.<br />
“Get out!” I whispered loudly to Lefty.<br />
“What did you say?” my mom asked, gaping at me.<br />
“I said I’m getting out and going to find Lefty,” I told her, thinking quickly.<br />
“Get out—now!” I whispered to Lefty.<br />
“Stop talking about finding him. Just go do it,” my mom said impatiently.<br />
I stood up just as my dumb invisible brother raised his water glass. The glass floated up over the<br />
table.<br />
I gasped and grabbed for it.<br />
But I grabbed too hard. I jerked the glass, and water spilled all over the table.<br />
“Hey!” Mom screamed.<br />
I pulled the glass down to its place.<br />
Then I looked up. Dad was glaring at me, his eyes burning angrily into mine.<br />
He knows, I thought, a heavy feeling of dread sweeping over me.<br />
He saw what just happened, and he knows.<br />
Lefty has spoiled it for everyone.
