But Daddy...

But Daddy!
I can't do my
homework
without you!
It's just TOO HARD!

Daddy, you've
got to
understand
I'm in 5th
grade now
and homework
is 1,000 times
harder than
123 to the
power of
1,234. It's
got me beat!

If I try
to do this
on my own
without you
I'll fall asleep
with
my head
on the
table. Then
the next day
my teacher
will think
I'm the
dumbest
kid in the
whole class...

And she'll
call you
and say,
" Your
daughter
is as DUMB
AS ALGAE!"
And I'll feel
so ashamed
I'll cry into
your bed.

So you see,
Daddy, why
you should
stop helping
Daria with her
easy 2nd grade
homework
and start
helping me
with my
reallyreally-
reallyreally-
really hardcore
5th grade
homework?
You see?

Wait a
second.
What do
you mean,
this is Mom's
test she was
supposed to
take in
college?
Well, that
explains
it!
