"I may be an idiot, but I'm not stupid."

"Why would Spencer say that?"
Artemis looked up from her book and gave M'gann a questioning look.
M'gann tried to explain herself. "I mean, I get that he doesn't have a lot of common sense, but why is he," she twisted her hands in distress, trying to word it politely. "Like that?"
Artemis's confusion only grew and she put her book down. "What are you talking about? Who is Spencer?"
Her girlfriend came around the couch and sat next to Artemis, her arm wrapping around her shoulders. "I'm talking about Spencer from that one show. You know, from the kids' show about web videos and middle school life?" Artemis groaned loudly and slumped into M'gann's hug.
Artemis was tempted to say, I can't believe you watch that show, but instead said, "What were you asking before?"
M'gann sat up quickly and turned towards her, already talking. Artemis was ashamed to admit it, but she did tune out quite a bit of what she saying, her brain going over what she could remember from the show from when she was a little kid. Her mind switched to active listening as soon as she heard M'gann voice a question, and Artemis scrambled to figure out what she had asked.
She decided to just throw out a random answer, hoping it would be enough to make her ask something else. "That's just how it is on those shows, you know? The networks gotta make it as ridiculous as possible, that way they keep kids interested in it."
M'gann pouted slightly and leaned back into the couch. "It makes sense, I guess…"
Artemis breathed a silent sigh of relief.
"I just don't get why he said 'I may be an idiot, but I'm not stupid', like? That's stupid, right? He sounds stupid saying that and he supposed to be looking after Carly, and Sam too, even though she doesn't live with them, but it's weird right?"
Artemis whimpered. She was so close to freedom, and it had been ripped from her grasp. "Babe, I don't know what to tell you. That's just his character."
M'gann was quiet for a moment, and Artemis hoped it was over, and then. "Do you think Batman watches it with Robin?"
And she lost it. She was laughing so hard she couldn't breathe; all the while M'gann sat next to her, a look of faux innocence on her face.
