D: My Dad's a Nathan!

Nooooo!!!!!1 I promised to be cool with my dad being in the same class as me, but this is genuinely difficult. To begin with, it's hardly a difficult math class. Even the teacher is bored, I'd imagine, which might be why he does his long division with radical signs. Maybe they'll notice today... nope. They did not. He's definitely bored. Why else would he go on about our mechanical humanoid friends from across the river? You know, the ones from the chemical plant? Where they're developing the technology to make flesh?

I'd try to get some of it on video for you guys, but it's a very full class and I doubt it would go unnoticed. More on topic however, my dad is just as bad as this guy if not worse. As if it weren't enough for the teacher to go on about this random shit, my dad fully encourages it by making snarky remarks and answering rhetorical questions, even sometimes asking them, and no one really has time for that. A big part of the class is online, and some of those people actually need help. (Please do not laugh, it is a serious issue. Some people actually need help with this low level bullshit.) This morning, everyone around me was talking about him. I am not kidding, everyone. About how he thinks he's so smart and funny, but really he's stupid and should be quiet and pay attention instead of trying to be witty. When he came in, I heard "Here he is! I wish he would trip and fall." The worst part is, can I blame them? I'm not sure if I really can. I'd certainly have much less sympathy for him if he wasn't my dad. He would be just another annoying Nathan guy, old Nathan, who has no social skills or consideration for others.
