Hey where can I buy potatoes?
Why do you need potatoes?
For my heritage project.
Irish?
Yup.
The grocery store by school should have some.
"Dad? Did you know this?" Farkle asks.
"No, I didn't," Stuart replies. "It makes some sense, though. My grandfather… He didn't like to talk about his family. Not even the Minkus parts of it."
"Sweetie, if it's too hard for you to talk about, you can talk about my family," Jennifer interrupts. "They were Puritans who lived in Holland, and then came over to America. I think some distant member of my family was involved in the Salem witch trials. That's interesting, right?"
"I mean, it's cool, but we're supposed to step away from being American. Your side has been American since the 1600s. My great-grandfather would have come over either during or after World War II."
"Your mother's right, Farkle," Stuart tells him, "You don't have to talk about the Minkuses if you don't want to."
"I've already talked to Smackle. She said she wishes she was there this week and could talk about her Filipino heritage." Jennifer and Stuart exchanged a fond glance that Farkle couldn't decipher, but they were smiling, so he counted that as a victory.
"Talk about the Minkuses, talk about the Bassets… It doesn't matter. You have a fascinating story, Farkle, no matter which side you choose to focus on. And that's what makes you so special," Jennifer tells him.
"So, should I audition for The Crucible, then?" Farkle asks with a smile and Jennifer and Stuart laugh.
A/N: Abigail Adams will be putting on The Crucible, as evidenced by the poster behind Riley when she's talking about the mural. The maiden name of Elizabeth Proctor, who appears in the play and was accused of witchcraft but was spared due to pregnancy, is Bassett and she supposedly had a brother, so Jennifer is descended from him.
