Day nine: Now look here

It has come to my attention that there is a group of people out there who think Dad should be doing something other than paying rapt attention to me. This dangerous group, known as "Faculty," is a threat to our (well, OK, my) way of life.

I just want to say to those "Faculty": You do not stand a chance. I am the future, and you will never gain a foothold here. Here is what Dad sees when he looks up from his work:
"You want those books, scholar boy? You're gonna have to go through me!"

Surrender now!
