Things I learned from Matilda

You can leap over your upstairs balcony and not break a bone
Some headmistresses can be so brutal that they make the entire school sit in detention and copy from the dictionary because a boy ate chocolate cake. And she can swing a girl by her pigtails, throw kids out the window, and even have a "chokey."
Whoever painted the Trunch's portrait must have had a really strong stomach
If you are having fun, you aren't learning
Girls like Matilda can make pancakes at age 4
Amanda Thripp's mommy . . . is a TWIT!
Some cottages have 50 dollars a month rent
If Agatha doesn't get out of town and give Miss Honey back her house, the "ghost" of Magnus will get her like she got him, and that is a PROMISE.
Matilda will still get punished by Harry Wormwood because he's big and she's small, and he's smart and she's dumb and he's right and she's wrong and there's nothing she can do about it.
Small children most likely take long to grow up just to annoy people like the Trunch
