Show and Tell, Tuesday, Period Two
This week, Sparkle's class had been sent an e-mail in advance with a prompt for what to bring in to the classroom today. And that prompt was, 'toys.'
Which they were free to interpret however they cared to, just so long as they kept it clean.
He'd admit he was curious to see how Ringo managed this one, having used her AT card on day one.
"Okay," he said, grinning at the class. "Not every week can be a field trip week. Well, I mean, it could. There are literally classes that do that. But I'm not that organized anyway, so we're going to trade off every now and again, at least. And this week, I asked you guys to bring in some kind of toy, if you have anything that qualifies. If you don't, here's where you fake it, which is an important part of the whole 'show and tell' experience."
Or maybe Sparkle just figured that lying was more important than plenty of people might prefer. One of those. Either way, he was pulling a little black stuffed toy cat from his bag, and holding it up for the class to see.
"This is Velcro II," he shared. "Named after Velcro the first, who was my pet cat while I was a student here. I couldn't keep him after grad when it was time to go back home, so Velcro found a home with one of the other students, and when I came back to the island I wound up living with a guy whose one house rule is 'no cats.'" Atton was lucky Sparkle liked him. "So he got me this guy instead. I'm pretty sure he felt bad about the house rule? I dunno. Either way, Velcro II comes along with me whenever I've got my backpack anywhere, because... I'm a big kid? Whatever. Here's my toy, that was my bit. You guys can pass him around if you like, but someone's gotta share."
