Re: For Tabby;
Realistically, if this was what Tabby wanted to do, then John wasn't really gonna say much against it. He didn't see it lasting, mostly because of Tabitha's wandering attention rather than any intellect, and because college was likely gonna make her want to blow something up.
"Oh yeah, totally. Is this total loser gonna need to make sure you're up in the morning to go to college? Where are you even going? Is it subway to college or are you thinking on being one of those hipster kids with a vespa?"
