Ah. There's nothing like the looming threat of being told you're dumb again to really get you going in the morning.

Why can I not just sleep forever?

[ DAD ]

So, I know you know. And you know that I know that you know. So pretending I don't know that you know is stupid.

Do I have to go to school again?

Also. Can I get a dog?

You are certainly not stupid.

Yeah, I mean, objectively, I know that. I have some of the best people in the world who totally help me. I just test really badly and nothing comes out right.

Smarts are about more than tests.

Which is my eternal argument, but then they just say I'm not focusing enough, like my brain even knows what focus is.

I'm really hoping dad'll let me skip it.

Learning is different for everyone. Did you ever try to find your learning style?

It's usually been through doing stuff, y'know? Like learning while working on something or helping. Mom tried to use baking to teach me chemistry and well dad had to replace the kitchen twice.

Yeah, mom always thought I possibly had an overactive brain, not disorder level overactive, but hyper puppy overactive. Classrooms are just super boring.

Your mom is a smart lady.

If there is something you can learn from me, you let me know, okay?

Yeah. She is.

You think if there's like... sciencey stuff on the GED thing, you'd be able to like... like is there stuff to do to learn that where I won't blow something up?

You are taking the GED? Good for you, kid.

Of course. You let me know when you want to get to work.

Makes sense, right? Might need it one day.

Thanks Uncle Tony. Your llamas make good sounding boards for ideas.

That's a lot of 'knowing'.

You turn 18 in three weeks. If you don't wanna go, you don't have to go. Do you wanna get your GED?

We already have two cats who are barely a few months old, why would be also get a dog?

I'm emphasising that we know a lot.

I mean, don't I kind of have to?

Because I miss Harley and I just want a dog to hug there are sad animals in shelters who need homes, and on your crime spree you never thought to help them.

You don't have to. It'd be smarter to do it, but I'm not about to force you to do something I never did. But I do think you could do it with fewer problems than classroom learning.

That's because you don't steal shelter animals that probably have GPS trackers. You really think you can handle taking care of two cats, a dog and your sister?

Right, cause jobs and stuff that don't involve black ops and cover ups. Maybe though, I mean, if I can learn it in my own way and just apply it...

That's a fair point, if not for the fact that you and Nat could totally disable the trackers. I promise I can totally take care of all of the above. I mean, I do fine with twenty chickens, goats, dogs and Momo.

And you can take your time, figure out what works. If you don't wanna do it after a couple months, fine. Better to try though.

Okay, we'll go to the shelter and you can see if you like any of them there. Or if they like you. I swear to god Nate, please don't bring home twenty chickens.

Looks like I don't need to gear up my "you're not dumb" speech because my dad already took care of that.

As your unofficial cheerleader, I have to remind you that you are absolutely not dumb.

Why are you unofficial? Do I need to like pay you to make it official? I can definitely get an allowance to make it official.

I also accept payment in hugs and chocolate.

I decided to go back to school too. Still haven't declared a major or anything. Just felt like something I should do.

Well those I have in abundance.

I mean if you can figure stuff out as you go, right? Do what you find fun and all that. I mean, I think if I did college it'd be easier. Cause you can choose what you wanna do.

That's why we make a great team, Nate!


I got kicked out of MIT for unapproved experiments, but I'm not sure there is anything these people could teach me about robotics that I dont already know... or could just ask Tony about. And thats all I've ever done so... figuring the rest out is a little intimidating.

That's totally just a technicality, probably they just didn't understand what you were doing and freaked. Well, don't do stuff for the smarts of it -you're crazy smart and super inventive, so like, I dunno, do something fun?

Like when you've got math wizards who dance cause they enjoy it, or art because it's calming. You do any of those kinds of things?

Yeah, thats what I think I'm going to do. Something fun.


Just need to figure out what it is.

A bunch of other people have already told you that you're not dumb so I missed that boat. Instead I'll tell you that you're a damn amazing person. Academics doesn't have a thing to do with that.

Even though you totally like dumb Barton's who do dumb shit. Yeah, but still. I'd rather graduate than have to keep doing senior year.

Would you... I mean, you'd help with language stuff right? If I do the GED thing.

It's the arrows. I can't resist it.

Of course I would. Do they give you a list of which ones to study?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]bartonesque
2020-08-22 08:21 pm UTC (link)
Well this dumbass is only allowed to make them. Which sadly doesn't count for shop or chemistry in class.

I gotta do French or Spanish, but then I can pick any others if I wanna do something else. How hard is it to learn Russian? And I mean other words, cause I know the swears.

I can't make an arrow so that makes you pretty smart in my book.

It's not hard. You know the basics, including the swear words, so picking it up should be pretty easy. French and Spanish I can do too.

It helps that dad and me made them constantly.

That'd be great, then I like at least can show I speak more than one language.

I bet I could make a good effort, sleep 80% of the time and eat the other 20%.
