The Worst Class Trip Ever by Dave Barry5/13/2023 ![]() I know a lot of people think Miami is a weird place, but it’s my home, so I’m used to the kind I’m an eighth grader at Culver Middle School in Miami. ![]() Okay, I guess this is starting to sound pretty mysterious. On the other hand, when I think about what could have happened if I hadn’t been sitting next to Matt on that flight… None of this insane mess would have happened. If I’d been sitting anywhere else, I would have had a normal class trip, and That’s why I ended up sitting next to him on the plane on the class trip. So now, even though we’re in eighth grade, and he’s sometimes unbelievably annoying, I’m kind of stuck with him. But when we were in kindergarten, pretty much all the boys were idiots, so he didn’t stand out so much, and None of this stuff would have happened if I hadn’t been sitting next to Matthew Diaz.ĭon’t get me wrong: Matt is my best friend. ![]()
