#badness level

"Yeah, let's call it ATTITUDE"

Okay, here's a scene depicting Chely drawing Petey's "badness level":

Chely, with a determined look, sits across from Petey. She's spread out a large sheet of paper and holds a bright red crayon.

"Petey," she says, her voice serious, "I'm going to show you something important."

She starts drawing a vertical line on the paper, like a thermometer. At the bottom, she scribbles a tiny, almost invisible mark. At the top, she makes a very tall, thick red line.

"This," she points to the bottom, "is zero. This is…well, normal."

Then, she gestures to the very top, the thick red line.

"And this," she says, emphasizing each word, "is your badness level."

She then draws a little, exaggeratedly spiky cartoon of Petey right next to the tall red line. The red from the crayon is practically glowing.

"Badness Level" She writes in red crayon next to the long line.

"See?" Chely says, tapping the paper. "Unusually high for someone your size. We can fix that."

Petey stares at the drawing, his eyes wide. He looks from the tall red line to the cartoon of himself, then back to Chely. He's clearly confused and a little taken aback.
