No, Kunta Kinte.

I have never seen the reading rainbow, but the podcast LeVar Burton has where he reads short tales he likes is very nice.
--- End quote ---
That was the whole premise of much of the show, celebrities reading but they included the actual illustrations from the books while the celebrity read it. There was other segments that tied the theme of the day together with the books but they weren't usually related to literature but rather science, history, math instead.

--- End quote ---
I don't think it's maturity of a 13-year-old, I think it's just her being a smartass as a defense mechanism. The classic "they're going to get pissed at me anyway so I'll save them the trouble" kind of personality. And I think she actually respects Sam's abilities for what they are, something that Fay should be doing since she herself is an artist.
Unless Fay is one of those art snobs who don't consider stuff like graffiti or tattooing to be "real" art.

I'm really not sure what set Bubbles off today. May has given no indication that she disrespects Sam or even has any intent or desire to tease her. Personally, I just don't think that Bubbles trusts leaving two two teens together to encourage each-other to greater excesses! FWIW, to me, May has always struck me as the 18-year-old girl, so maybe Bubbles is worried about Sam looking up to her too much? Other than literally because, as Sam said, May's new chassis is tall!
Meanwhile, I love May's 'injured dignity' expression in panel 5!

.....What's with the Roots reference?
EDIT: Oh. Well, it's been 17 years since 11th grade. Not the first reference choice to come to mind (yes, ST:TNG).

I suspect this may be a case of 'better safe than sorry' mixed with a bit of misjudging someone's character to some degree.
BlueFatima:
Da-yam! May is right!!! Chill out, Bubs!

--- Quote from: Gnabberwocky on 22 Dec 2020, 18:47 ---As someone who isn't more than a few years older than Sam, she's a frustrating character to read. She consistently acts--and is treated as--closer to ten or so years old. I feel like she was closer to her actual age when she was first introduced than she is now.

Sam is, at this point, a year younger than my son. And I have commented before that she is actually a lot like him. Sam is immature for her age, has ADHD, lacks interpersonal skills, and might even be at the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum (though this is unconfirmed.) She’s also very smart and very talented. I live with this every day. If Sam was a real person she would probably get along great with my son.
