It’s probably an understatement to say Thing 3 does not like change. If his routine, food, clothes, and conversations were the same every day, he would be just fine.
Today he had a new teacher in swim class. Considering how long it took him to feel comfortable with the last one, it was no surprise he was less than cooperative.
The new teacher cheerfully said, “Hi! What’s your name?”
Thing 3’s reply: “My name is Stinkpot.”
