More to come next week, but for now,

let's get into the story This is the story.

This is the story of a kid who was known for being a bit of a loud talker.

And he wasn't just a loud talker.

He was also a talk talker, someone who never seemed to stop talking.

Oscar has something to say about everything.

He even talked in his sleep.

Now his sister Audrey had gotten really good at ignoring her loudmouth brother.

She had trained her brain to keep a conversation going even while she was busy thinking about other stuff.

Oscar never noticed his sister wasn't listening because she had programmed herself to say, Yeah, uh-huh, okay, sure, sure, yeah, uh-huh, okay, right, totally, sure, sure.

But while Audrey had learned all sorts of tricks to handle her brother, Oscar's teacher wasn't so lucky. The first time Mrs. Googly gosh had met Oscar, she began holding on to her head to keep it from spinning. Hi, Mrs. Googly gosh, I'm one of your new students, Oscar. Those are really nice shoes you've got on. My mom's friend Debbie has those same shoes. So what are we going to be learning about this year? Hopefully no math, right? Do you like being a teacher?

Was that the first thing you wanted to be when you grew up?
