Jasper was relieved that he only had to remember the first five letters, it was a lot of pressure off of him that he hadn't realized he had had. He had not realized that there were so many ways to learn something other than just being told to do it with a threat over his head. He had been taught that if he couldn't learn how to do something quickly, he would be punished for it. Part of that idea still remained and was likely the reason why he was trying so badly to learn these letters. Kate said it took weeks for children, but would that apply to him as well? Could learning really be fun?<br/><br/>As Kate repeated the song, Jasper listened with full concentration, determined to memorize what he had to. He repeated the first five slowly under his breath, faltering a few times. His eyes quickly found hers at the mention of weekly quizzes.<br/><br/>"What...what if I don't have it in a week?" He knew Kate would not hurt him, but would she be disappointed? Angry? Children learned this for goodness sake! His ears remained lowered at Kate's expectation of him in a month.
