In Which Moxy

(Almost) Takes

the Blame

“It wasn’t his fault,” said Moxy. “I mean [there was a slight pause], I’m the one who told Sam to get the sharp scissors.”

Mrs. Maxwell was suddenly alert. “Are you saying it was your fault?”

“Pansy’s pink paper-doll scissors wouldn’t cut the towels,” said Moxy.

“So it’s Pansy’s paper-doll scissors’ fault that you had to use the sharp scissors?”

“No, it was Sam who used the sharp scissors”

“But it’s not his fault?”

“No, I told him to.” Moxy was getting the teeny-tiniest bit impatient.

“You do know what happens to someone who touches the sharp scissors” said Mrs. Maxwell.

“Five years,” moaned Pansy.

Mrs. Maxwell looked at the mess on the bathroom floor. Then she looked at Moxy. “What are you doing up here anyway?” she said. “You and Pansy are supposed to be downstairs practicing ‘Heart and Soul.’ ”

“I know,” said Moxy. “But we can’t have the Big Dress Rehearsal until our capes are ready.”

“Yes, you can,” said Mrs. Maxwell. Her voice had a right now or else quality to it.

“Maybe we can,” Pansy suggested to Moxy.
