"Hey Mike I was doing exercises in the gym when I realized...," Sulley trails on for a while before realizing that there are two human beings in the room.
"Oh, hey Sulley this is Alice and this is Henry," says Mike looking deeply into Sculley's eyes as if telling him to be nice.
Too bad he didn't catch on because he said "Why are these human beings in our apartment?"
"Don't worry Sulley they're very nice people and we need to help them," Mike says looking at him deeper to tell him yet again to be nice.
"You mean like help them fall out the window, or help them find King Triton?" Sulley says sitting in the worn out reddish chair.
"Help them get back home," Mike says giving Sulley a look that shoots the message straight into his brain.
"Okay fine, where are they from?" Sulley asks impatiently.
"I don't know where are you guys from?" Mike asks Alice and Henry.
"We are from Twin-falls, Minnesota, do you think you could help us get back there?" asks a very scared Alice.
"Of course we can, but do you have any special tasks to do before you leave?" asks Mike looking over to see Sulley falling asleep, "Sculley!" he shouts elbowing him.
"Sorry, I'm tired. I was at the gym all day exercising for work tomorrow," Sulley says getting more impatient by the minute.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! suddenly ever one hears the loud knock on the door.
"Who's there?" Sculley asks rudely.
"It's me Woody, we need to talk," says a worried sounding Woody.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
