Great start, Dandello! This is well put:
“Tell me about it.” Lois managed a chuckle. “But I’ll tell you, it’s better that he’s acting out and testing us than trying to be ‘little mister perfect.’ It means he’s not afraid of you. And that’s a very good thing.”
“He may not be afraid of me,” Clark said. “But I’m not sure if he respects me, and I know he doesn’t listen to me.”
Lois sighed. “That’s something we need to work on. Together.”
Looking forward to the rest of the story.
