On the way to dinner, Madison was still upset about having to change, and was taking this time to speak her mind.

The next morning, she refused to wear a dress to school and her mother allowed it this time. While at school, the other girls in her grade, who were all wearing dresses, made fun of her for wearing jeans and a blouse. Madison didn't let the comments make her feel bad and she stood up for herself.
