To Athena: Most disappointing child?

Athena: Definitely not Annabeth, Annabeth is so smart and resourceful, but Malcolm, on the other hand, had to take multiple-variable calculus in EIGHTH GRADE. As you can see, I'm fuming with anger.

Malcolm: Mum, I'm so sorry I-

Athena: SON, DO YOU EVEN WANT TO SUCCEED IN LIFE??!?!!!

Malcolm: I took four online summer courses, mum, I did everything I could!

Athena: I would prefer it if you started studying right now, Malcolm. 

Malcolm: But-

Athena: DO YOU WANT YOUR CALCULATOR TAKEN AWAY IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!?!?

Malcolm: *gasp* No, mum, please, I'm sorry, no, please

Other Athena Kids: *gasp* Did she just threaten to take his calculator away?!

Annabeth: Mum, I think you went too far

Athena: Oh my goodness, did I? Malcolm, I'm sorry, Malcolm?

Malcolm: 

Athena: Why isn't he responding?

Annabeth: I think he's in shock

Athena: Why?

Annabeth: I mean you did just threaten to TAKE HIS CALCULATOR AWAY
