The narrator and his friends are enjoying themselves at an amusement park. They're not eating the food they're supposed to eat, but they've still managed to have a good time. The narrator tells us that he's been hired as a "full-time newborn teacher" , meaning he'll be teaching kids in grades 4-6. He's excited to go to the amusement park, but he also wants to hear his teacher's violin again, so he asks the girls to come with him for a bit. The girls do come, and the narrator worries that the boy is hurt and that he might not be able to walk home safely. The amusement park is coming down soon, he says, so it's time to go ride it. He wants to pretend to be someone else, so that he won't have to act like a kid at home.
