OK, not sure if I'm going to keep up with this $5 Friday or not, because last week's kind of got kiboshed, but here's a new one if you want to play and WIN a crisp-or-not-so-crisp FIVE DOLLAR BILL just for answering a Manic Mommy question.
Obviously, I love to read. When I was in fifth grade, I was reading the first book I ever read that had a BAD WORD in it. The bad word was DAMN. I decided the right thing to do was confess to my mother that the book I was reading had a swear word in it.
What is the name and the author of that book? I just realized I should have made you guess the swear word too! Hahah.
Three guesses per person please.
OH, and when you're through guessing, if you're a mom of a toddler or younger, check out the previous post and enter to win Jen Singer's new book!

Just because I remember reading it about the time I was in 5th grade AND it has the word damn in it. I will guess Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson.
Good guess but no. And am I older than you are Jenni? You have to think about what type of books I was reading at my age in 5th grade. I have got to be older than you. I'm older than everyone these days!
Oh yeah, I'm WAY older than you. I just looked at your profile! LOL!
Are You There God It's Me Margaret by Judy Bloom
I also think it Are You There God, it's margaret by judy Blume.
Are You There God did not have a swear in it, but you guys are guessing good!
To kill a mockingbird????
How about Forever by Judy Blume?
Or, the one by her that was probably the first really intense book I read- Tiger Eyes?
You guys have the right author.
My final guess will be: Deenie. According to my fantastic memory (or a quick little google search, either way...) she curses her scoliosis by saying, "Damn you crooked spine!"
deenie, blubber, starring sallie j freedman as herself (judy blume)
It has to be one of my all time favorites, Blubber by Judy Blume!
There are tons it could have been, but I'm thinking something by Judy Bloom!
I dunno. I almost want to go SuperFudge by JB.
Well, T With Honey took my guess, but here's another one just in case. Was it Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself?
StacyAustinTexas has got it right with the first one to answer BLUBBER. Lucky for you though, it was your THIRD guess, and not your fourth guess or you would not have won!
Sorry T with Honey, you were next in line to win!
Stacy, email me your address and I will send you your CRISP FIVE DOLLAR BILL!
Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I was gone for the night!
Woohoo! Judy Blume was my fave...read them all as a kid. Thanks Stephanie!
A close second again! One of these weeks my boss won't stop by my desk or the baby won't kick my bladder just as I'm about to leave the winning comment and I'll get that $5.
