Dad: You're too sick for school, kiddo. Phoebe: NO! Pleasepleaseplease let me go! I PROMISE I won't infest any other kids!!! Dad: You can't promise that. Phoebe: You said I could do anything if I believe in myself. Dad: I stopped saying that when you declared your room a sovereign nations. Phoebe: Phoebestan still believes in freedom from room-cleaning.
I find it sad that most people think Phoebe would try to get out of going to school. I understand though – just about 100% of modern culture universally commands children to loathe school and avoid it at any costs. And then we wonder why kids to bad in school! Because they’re expected to hate it, and they’re very good at living up to our expectations.
