"Now, I want you to do these math problems and when I return, I hope that each of you will be finished." Splinter was giving his sons their daily schoolwork, in order to be a good ninja; you also needed a good education. Just as Splinter was making his leave, Donatello tugged on his robe and gave him his work.

"Finished Master Splinter." He said in a cheery tone. Splinter looked at Donatello in disbelief, but to his amazement, Donatello was indeed finished.

"Very well my son, you may watch TV quietly, the rest of you must be finished when I return." Splinter took Donatello's schoolwork and went into his meditation room to correct it. As Donny walked passed his brother's, in a whispered tone, Raphael said under his breathe, "Smarty pants teachers pet." Donny heard this and stopped, he couldn't help it if the answers were so easy.

Later that day, Donny sat in his little work area, while his brother played in the dojo.

"Hey Donny!" Leo shouted. "Wanna play?"

Donny's face lit up, when Raph said, "I don't think so, he might feel we're too dumb for him."

Donny frowned and returned to his work. Splinter noticed this and went to him. "Donatello?" He turned. "What are you working on?"

"I'm trying to fix my Gameguy…could you pass me the screwdiver, Master Splinter?" (Pronounced "screwdriver")

Of course Splinter had no idea what a screwdriver looked like, so he gave him a ratchet instead. Donny looked at his Master and asked, "Don't you know what a screwdiver is, Master Splinter?" Splinter smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm afraid not, but I'm sure you know more than I, my son."

"Yeah…I bite too much…" he said under his breath. Splinter felt that there was more going on.

"What seems to be the problem, Donatello?"

Donny looked at his father with eyes of sorrow and said, "…Am I too smart?"

"Why do you ask this?"

Without saying anything, he turned to his other son's, just by Donatello's look told him everything. Splinter took his son in his arms and sat him on Splinter's lap. "Now, you listen to me…you being smart is a good thing. Because when they need help the most, you will have the answers."

"Really?"

"Yes…its good to be smart, because when you face your enemies…you'll already know what they're tactics are and what style they use."

"Wow!" He smiled and hugged Master Splinter tightly.

"Hey Donny…" it was Raph. "Um…my uh…my game guy broke…can you fix it?"

Donny smiled and nodded.
