00:00So what animal is she? Excuse me? They test the kids and they place them in groups according to
00:03their level. In math, there's leopards, chipmunks, giraffes. It should be in her folder. Oh,
00:08she's a leopard. Oh, what's MJ? He's a giraffe. Seeing Susan's face, Gabby feels something is
00:14wrong, so she asks her straight up, is Juanita in the slow class? But Susan says she does not know.
00:20The principal thinks parents should not know who is in fast or slow classes. He worries parents
00:24will compare kids. After Gabby keeps pushing, Susan finally tells the truth. She is only
00:29guessing, because one test was paper folding a globe, and the three classes were very different.
00:34She's a giraffe. Damn, that's good. Yes, weren't you, Benson? Okay. Chipmunk? I hate leopard. God,
00:40it looks like an actual leopard made it. Seeing Gabby look awkward, Susan tries to comfort her
00:44right away. She says being in the leopard class is not that bad. At least Juanita can help move
00:49tables in the cafeteria. This comfort is worse than silence. Gabby slams the door and leaves.
00:54The next day, the more Gabby thinks about it, the more it feels wrong, so she goes to see the
00:58principal. The principal says parents should always be proud of their own kids. They should
01:03not care about outside talk, like class placement. But Gabby still sneaks a look at the files on his
01:08desk. Facing the principal's long advice, Gabby stubbornly says she has always been proud of
01:13Juanita. By the way, enjoy your colonoscopy on the 16th. But in the hallway, Gabby runs into Juanita
01:20and her two friends. By pure chance, each child is in a different class. Gabby suddenly gets an idea.
01:25She suggests taking photos of the kids. And the cutest pose is holding up your math homework.
01:31Got it. But I wasn't smiling. Yeah, well, it's a tough world out there. Not much to smile about.
01:36Have a great day. Your mom's weird. You have no idea.
01:41Back home, Gabby rushes to show the math work to Carlos. The giraffe group has the easiest problems.
01:46The chipmunk group is medium. And the leopard group has word problems, fractions, and is clearly
01:51the hardest. Our daughter is a leopard. She's in the advanced class. Hey, good for her.
01:57Gabby finally lets out a big sigh of relief. Poor Susan still thinks her son is very smart.
02:02Gabby plans to tell her the truth later, just to let her suffer for a few days. But Carlos stops
02:07her
02:07because the neighborhood has been very tense lately. And he does not want to cause more trouble.
02:11Fine, I'll drop it. But just so you know, I like you better when you're reading the newspaper
02:15for pretending to listen. Sure, take whatever you need.
