Step 9Visit the farmers' market
Take you happy mutant out on the town!
Most people were completely oblivious. When people smiled at Corvidae, I waved her third arm back at them - everyone smiled again and returned the wave, clearly not bothering to count arms. Only those who had several minutes to examine her up close while I paid for groceries ever noticed something was amiss. You could tell when they saw it - their eyes were suddenly huge, surprised and amused/horrified all at once. Even after we told people she was wearing her Halloween costume, it often took a while for them to catch on.
My favorite anecdote: a lady came up to us at the market, and asked if she could say hello to the baby. We watched with amusement as she spoke to Corvidae, put her finger up for the baby to grab - and offered it to the third hand. She seemed a bit disappointed when the baby didn't grab her finger, and stepped back. Finally her eyes widened in shock. "Your baby has three hands!"
