The Fox Girl: Chapter 3

"Your fourst lessoun isz wha your pouwers are," the magicmaker said awkwardly as Jayde sat down at a small table with a fox head carved into it. Jayde had just figured out that she was a fox hybrid a few minutes (no, a few seconds) ago, that her father was Lord Youd, and that her mother had died during childbirth. Of course, she had lived like a human forever, and now she was a fox hybrid.
 
 
><><><><><
Jayde went to the assistant chief to ask if she would still go to human school for the research project.
"Yes, Lady Jayde. But you must hide your ears or be in your fox form," he said.
"Well?" Samuel asked, all ready to go.
"Can you buy me a fox hoodie?" Jayde asked.
"They only cost 5 bucks. Why?" he replied.
"I need to cover up my ears at school and I don't have money," Jayde said
"Ok, I'll buy you a hoodie. But in return, you have to make the hybrids like me so that they'll allow me to teach them the Harlem Shake," Samuel said.
"Deal," Jayde said as they began their quest.

Half an our later, Samuel's feet were hurting like crazy. It was lucky that Jayde's fox back had a TON of strength, so she was able to carry him to the store.
"Are you coming in?" Samuel asked.
"Heck no! My ears! Are you crazy? I'll be exposed if I go in there without coverup!" Jayde replied. Samuel nodded and headed into the store.
><><><><><
An hour later, Samuel FINALLY got out of the store with the fox hoodie that Jayde had requested and a box of chocolate marshmallows.
"I knew that I was going to have to pay you for that piggy-back ride," Samuel said as Jayde put on the hoodie and grabbed the box of chocolate marshmallows from him.
"Ok, yes I was going to make you pay and how did you know that these were my favorite?" Jayde asked as she popped a chocolate marshmallow into her mouth.
"Lucky guess," Samuel said as they went to school.

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?
