Double Fudge: Part 3

By JUDY BLUME

'Twenty-four dollars?' His eyes opened wide. 'That's all?'

'Yeah, it was a real bargain. But don't get your hopes up. That's not what it would cost today, even if it were for sale, which it's not.'

'How do you know, Pete?'

'Believe me, I know!'

'But how?'

'Listen, Fudge, by the time you're twelve there's a lot of stuff you know, and you don't even know how you know it.'

He repeated my line. 'There's a lot of stuff you know and you don't even know how you know it!' Then he laughed like crazy. 'That's a tongue-twister, Pete.'

'No, that's just the truth, Fudge.'
