Jackson’s Between Classes Diary - On September 9 ...
So it turns out I'm a monster. Well, part-time monster, actually, which leaves me pretty much full-time confused. It's not like I didn't know that mom and dad were both monsters. The first time I saw mom's Hyde side come out was when I was 5, and we were visiting my dad's side of the family. Some of the little neighborhood monsters decided that they were going to play "kick the can," only they were going to use me as the can. Every time I tried to run home, they blocked my way and pushed me down. I started crying, and then they really started making fun of me. Then all of a sudden, I heard this roar, and there was my mom. Even though it didn't look like her, I knew it was, and honestly, all I could think was, "Why mother, what big muscles you have." Needless to say, I never had any problem with the local monsters again. Dad's a fire elemental, of course, and I grew up playing with Heath, so I was never afraid of monsters. I just didn't think any monster heritage had passed on to me. When I asked mom and dad if they knew me and Holt were the same person, they said, "Of course we knew you and Holt were the same person--we're your parents; now finish your breakfast, or you'll be late for school." Well, thanks for clearing that up for me, mom, and dad. Cause you know it's not like having that little bit of information would have been helpful at all. Good thing I'm past those awkward teenage years where news like this could really have a negative impact on my psyche.
(Ooh--sarcasm. I like it.) HH
