Sally seems satisfied with my conditions so I get on the case. And by getting on the case I mean I sneak into the back stairwell and read some comic books instead of going to gym. Reading comic books is hard, by the way, when you know everything. You can’t think things like, “How’s Spider-Man going to get out of this one?” because the second you ask it you know the answer. “Oh, ok,” you say to yourself, “He pulls a lever in Doc Ock’s lab that turns on the interdimensional transporter and Doc Ock gets zapped into the Negative Zone.” Once you know how a comic book ends, it’s hard to keep on reading it.
Being a Know-it-All isn’t as great as you’d think it is. But you learn how to deal with it.
