Gracie: Do you believe fish is brain food? Peer: Of course! That's why I always eat it. Gracie: Well, so much for that theory.
Isn’t that Gracie’s “rival”? -the one kid who gets better grades than her?
I was a pretty smart kid myself (still not the dullest knife in the drawer, I hope) and all through elementary / middle / highschool, there was a fair bit or rivalry with other kids who got good grades. The ribbing between us didn’t start until high school, though…
Even if it’s a put down, I can sort of relate. Just sitting there while the teacher tries to get the rest of the class up to speed, gets old really, really quick. My parents really hammered on not acting superior towards other kids, but I know I reached the end of my patience on more than one occasion.
