Suit proud much? He didn't blame him, the suit was nice. As far as suits went, of course, Donny wasn't a suit-guy. Suit-kid? He preferred comfortable clothes, like for adventures. "It shows!" Donny smiled and gave him the thumbs up.

"If everyone could please setting down IN your seats as best as possible we will begin. Not to worry, your chairs are not broken and this was done to them intentionally," he announced after clapping his hands together twice to get everyone's attention over their private conversations. No floor sitting. Desks were there to be used. Not a decoration. "Good evening and welcome back to Astronomy. Just another reminder to never, and I mean NEVER, get this noble subject confused with Astrology." Especially now that that woman was handing out rubbish horoscopes left and right. Sweet solstice. "We will be staying close to home this lesson as we explore the cosmos as we attempt to understand the role and function that the Earth serves in the cosmic machine that is the universe. I would like to start off today's lesson with a rather broad question and one that you all should have no trouble in answering."

No pressure, right?

"Please raise your hand and tell me what is your favorite season and why?"

Donny leaned back on his chair in an attempt to get comfortable, but sat straight, or as straight as he could, when they were told to. It wouldn't do to fall off your seat once class had actually started.... but it'd be funny.. He grinned a bit before focussing on what was being said. So.. they were meant to be broken. Were they going to stack the chair like circus people? If so, could he climb them?!

He didn't understand much of what was being said and didn't know what seasons had to do with this, but he raised his hand and cleared his throat anyway.
Duh, easy! Summer! Even if his birthday was in December, summer was best. "Summer! Yeah! Yeah, I like the beatss and and.. swimming. Outside. The outside swimming, you'd freeze if you went swimming in December."
Simple enough. If this lesson was full of these kind of questions Donny was sorted!
