My Father's Mission: Keep Me a Fool

Summary

Dad's temper explodes when I tell him that one plus one equals two. Frank Huxley ruthlessly kicks me in the chest and roars, "Who gave you permission to learn addition? Why won't you just listen to me?"

He then grabs me by the leg and drags me to the door, shoving me out of the house.

"You just love learning so much, don't you? Go then! But don't ever call me your father ever again!"

I wail loudly as I bang on the door with all my might. Suddenly, I can hear Dad's thoughts through the door.
