The Twelve Burps of Christmas Read online

  George smiled and opened his mouth to say “Happy new year!” And that was exactly what came out.

  “Dude, that was a big burp,” Alex said.

  “You are definitely the burping king,” Kevin agreed.

  “Great,” George grumbled.

  “Come on,” Kevin said. “You just burped in the new year. How many kids can say that?”

  Only one. George Brown, the amazing burping boy! Too bad Schminess didn’t have a category for that!
