`Have a nice day at school, darling.'
Spock gazed up at his mother, passive but wondering as always as she pressed
her lips to the dark crown of his head.
`The purpose of school is education, not pleasure, Mother,' he corrected her
gravely.
He was rewarded by the sparkle in his mother's eyes. His answer was as rote as her wish, and both of them appreciated the exchange
that allowed a brief moment of closeness between mother and son before he left
her side and entered the wilderness of school. There was no loss of face in his
comment - no matter that losing face should not bother him. In many ways Vulcan
school was no different to human. All the logic in the world did not stop
children from being cruel.
He turned away from his mother. She watched him disappear through the tall,
dark doors, thinking of the healing, faded bruise on
his cheek from yesterday's encounter with the school's most logical bullies,
and of her son's everyday misery - and she turned away from the building,
praying that today would be a nice day.
