== Playing Dead == |
|
|
Andy tries to get out of school by lying in bed all day with his eyes open not blinking or breathing when anyone is looking. His parents "do believe" that he's dead so Andy's Dad digs a hole outside and pops Andy in. It gets hard to breathe so Andy tries getting out and Dad tries pushing Andy back into the hole and then '''he''' pretends he's dead and Andy's parents have a laugh of their own. |

Andy goes out to his Dad's boss's home for a salad dinner. He spots a cockroach in his salad but he says he can't tell anyone because they'd think he put it in for a trick. So Andy tries getting it off in the bathroom but then has to throw his clothes out the window and ends up hanging on a tree in the rain. The cockroaches begin disturbing other people then, and Andy gets banished. |

Andy gets in a big gorilla suit and sends a gorillagram to his sister's birthday party. He crawls under her chair and ends up with spaghetti all over his head. He takes it off and then goes around the other stores and annoying other people. Afterwards, somebody rings the police, and Andy has to take the gorilla suit off to prove that he's a person and not a gorilla but no one can hear him behind the rubber and he can't get the gorilla suit off. Andy then is realised by his sister, Jen. |

Andy is left at home to do chores and is cleaning the house. He hears a knock and opens the door and sees no one there. While Andy is cleaning the fan, he keeps hearing knocks on the door and keeps seeing nobody there. He thinks that it's his friend Danny Pickett and fills a yellow bucket up with tomato sauce, soy sauce, blackberry jam, tomato paste, corn relish, vinegar, spaghetti, peanut butter, vegemite, eggs, honey, cornflakes, chilli peppers and water and plans to throw it all over Danny. As he waits, he accidentally throws it all over his Mum and while they plan 'a little talk' they realise the house is so clean. |

== Emergency Spew Relish == |

Andy is flying on a thirty-six seater plane to Mildura by himself to visit his grandparents. He puts a piece of rubber dog pooh on the seat next to him so nobody sits next to him. A blind old lady sits next to him and Andy wants to get rid of her being there not knowing that she's blind. He grabs some of his "emergency corn relish" and puts it into his mouth telling the old lady that he is going to be sick and spits out all the corn relish into the air sickness bag. Then he pretends to think that his "spew" tastes really good and the old lady doesn't mind. Andy tries and tries but he figures out the old lady is blind and tells her that he's going to be sick again. |

== Invisipills == |

In the library, Danny quietly talks to Andy about how he wants to be invisible. Andy has some round candy balls which he think will be a great trick to play on Danny. Andy offers Danny one saying that the candies are 'invisipills' which make you invisible. Andy pretends that he can't see Danny and Danny asks why he can still see himself. Andy tells him that's what's supposed to happen. Danny is so excited that he shrieks loudly and throws books around the library. Danny is banished by the librarian afterwards, along with Andy. |

|
Andy decides to mess up Jen's ] cards to her friends and turn the jolly Santas on the front into mutant ones. To make Jen not notice, he quickly puts the letters into the postbox. Then he remembers that ] only delivers presents to ''good'' girls and boys and thinks that making mutant Santas was a bad prank to play before Christmas. Then Andy has a dream about the same mutant Santa that gives him a rotten potato to eat. Jen appears to be sobbing in her room and Andy thinks he knows why. Then the next day, Jen says that all her friends loved the mutant Santas, even though Andy had changed Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to TerrIBLE Christmas and a CRappy New Year. |
