Chapter 34 - My baby is so cute

Clara father disagreed with the fact that his daughter would not be attending school. He argued with his wife about it, but when he saw what Clara could do, he was dumbfounded and even boasted about his gene being amazing.

At the age of 6, she was given a textbook to go through by her mother. Her father wanted to protest but was shocked when Clara took it happily, and started turning the pages as if she's just looking at the pictures.

Her father smiled at the beautiful scene, as he watches his daughter's eyes glow with excitement while going through the textbook, that he has forgotten why the book was given to her.

"My baby is so cute," he said as he pinch Clara's cheeks, smiling happily.

"Don't distract her." Clara's mother cautioned. She has thought Clara the English alphabet, reading and word constructions by herself. That's the only knowledge she also got about education.

"Honey, can you please stop now. Clara will be attending school, you can't change my mind." her father replied with his brow creased. He's starting to get angry at Clara's mother ridiculousness.

"I'm done!" Clara exclaimed happily.

"Of course my baby, let go out and leave your mom behind, shall we?" her father asked, looking at Clara's adorable face and smiling brightly.

To him it's like, Clara was done looking at pictures.

Clara looked at her mother with confusion written all over her face, her mom has informed her about it beforehand and they've planned everything, just to convince her father.

"Ask her any questions from the book," her mother said, looking at her husband with a serious expression.

"What's wrong with you? first, you gave a 6 years old girl who has never for once, stepped her foot into a school building, a science textbook to read, and now you want me to ask her questions?" Her father asked,

"Just do it!" Her mom pressured.

"I'm not doing anything. Clara you are coming with daddy right? let go have some fun." he picked up Clara in his arm and turned to leave, but Clara mother took the text book and step in front of him and stopped him from leaving.

"Fine! I will do it for you then." she said and open the last five pages of the book, where some questions are written.

It will be easier than going through the book as well. If her husband agreed to ask the questions; it will be easy because the textbook was originally his to begin with and he his familiar with the content.

"Sweety, explain osmosis to daddy, according to what you saw in this book." Clara mother said looking at her daughter lovingly.

Her father frown and was about to say something when she heard Clara speak.

"It is a process by which a molecule of solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one." 

An example can be the intake of water molecules in plants."

Her father froze immediately, but what shocked him most was how Clara pronounced the word semipermeable with her tiny voice without mistaken. 'how was she able to read in the first place?' he asked in his head.

Knowing how strong headed her husband was; as he wouldn't give in easily, she looked at Clara again.

"Sweetheart explain more so dad will understand better"

"Yes mommy," Clara replied and begin explaining to her father based on what she read.

Her father nearly drop her out of shock, but her mother quickly reacted and held her in his arms.

"Hold her for a while I'm  coming, her father gave her to her mother and ran inside his study.

Her mother put her down. "it's not as if she can't walk, so what's with the hold her," she muttered.

After a while, her father came out with different books and ask her to go through it, which she did and answered all his questions without making a single mistake. 

"I should have said this earlier, but I knew you will believe I'm showing off. But it's nice that you find out yourself." her father said facing her mother with his head and shoulders raised high.

"What is that?" her mother asked looking confused.

"Actually, when I was the same age as my princess here," he paused, rubbing his hand on Clara's hair, "I was a genius, which is now reflecting on my baby." he boasted.

"Pfft!" Clara  mother rolled her eyes at him. "Are you trying to say, you started becoming an idiot as you grow older?" she asked in between laughter.

"You!" he glared at her.

Clara clap her hands happily as she watched the two argue. 

"Baby you shouldn't do that, you should scold mommy for me. She just called daddy an idiot." her dad said feigning a pitiful face. 

Clara shrugged her shoulders and refuse to take sides, "you guys sort things out, Clara need to visit the ladies." she said and ran toward the restroom.

"It's the babies for you, not the ladies. Who said you are a lady?" her father said loudly so she could hear him.

"I'm a lady," Clara replied from the distance.

"You are a baby, my baby, okay?" 

"Clara is busy and can't reply to you right now," Clara replied.

Her father smiled at her reply.

Her parents discuss the matter again and her father also felt like, she was too smart for the class she will be put in if she attends school now and agree to let her grow more. But her mother knew he had given in already and finally put her mind at rest. 

But they were wrong, it is not only what was written in books that is being taught at school. She could memorize, yes! but that doesn't mean she could understand what she memorized. This lack of education reflect in her way being a lot.

She say whatever comes to her mind without wondering if it's right or wrong.

She could have gotten in trouble if Leo was was someone else and died at her house then. Someone was dying and it never crossed her mind to call for help.

The way she talked to Leo, if it were another man, he wouldn't have taken it from her. The person would at most give her some money as compensation for saving his life and send her away.
