Dancing and Fathers

Here is the part II, sorry for splitting it :(((

***Living room time***

''Read it.''

''I don't want to do this, Mr. Matthews.''

''Maya...''

''Sit down.''

Okay, if you want to be that straight forward, do your thing...

''You can't tell me...''

''I just did. ''

Savage, what can I say.

''Go ahead.''

"Darwin animal studies were thought to be when the travels he took on the boat with the Beatles."

I don't think I understood the answer but we will work on that.

''Are you kidding me?''

''Riley!''

''Does she have to be here?''

''What were you trying to do?''

'' I tried to write it like I was smart.''

''Maya, you are smarter than you give yourself credit for.''

''Goldy...''

''What did you mean to say?''

''Darwin studied animals, sir.''

''What kind?''

''I don't know.''

''She does know.'' Both Marigold and Riley said.

''I don't know. You think I don't what I don't know?''

'' I think you know more than you don't know, but you don't know that!'' Riley said.

''I think you are more than you come across as.'' Marigold said.

''You know what?''

'' What did Darwin study?''

'' Birds.''

Good one, Maya.

''There you go.''

''Really? I got that one wrong.''

''You want to be smart, Maya? Say what you mean. I understood that perfectly, and you're correct.''

Good wording, Mr. Matthews.

''That's all I had to say?''

''What was the name of his boat?''

''The Beatles.''

You are close.

''The Beagle. It's a tiny difference, but an important one. Because if you know it, Maya, you don't fail.''

''I want to not fail.''

Why is this relatable?

''What kind of birds did he study?''

'' I don't know.''

''You do.'' Marigold said.

''Finches.''

''And what else?''

''Finches and mockingbirds.''

'' Yes. How did you know she knew?''

''I know she listens to you.''

''I listen to you.''

''Then you won't fail... And then neither will I. ''
