Part 755: Maribelle B

Huh... Never knew that...

Good day, Brady. What are you reading?

Oh! N-nothing, Ma.

Don't tell me it's something salacious!

What?! No! I don't even know what that word means!

Give that here this minute! Let me see... "Proper Diction: A Beginners Guide" ?

...Happy now? I was gonna surprise ya after I learned how to talk all pretty.

Brady, you...

Anyway, what of it?! I'm only doin' it what to get ya off my case!

Brady, this book is designed for seven years or younger...

WHAT?! But it's so tough!

I never imagined things were this grim...

L-look, I just wanted to review the basics, yeah? You're always harpin' on the basics!

Yes, they're paramount, naturally. But still... Chapter one: "Your Friend, the Noun!"...This is honestly where you're starting?

H-hey, get off my case! I don't need this ! I talk just fine anyway, yeah? Forget all this! I'm'a make like pants and split! (leaves)

Goodness. Just what manner of education did my future self offer that boy?
