Q:
Dear Caleb the boy supergenius,
Sometimes when I’m in school, I find it so hard to motivate myself to do work. I really want to put my best effort into everything I do, but it can be too easy to take the foot off the gas. How can I get my study habits back on track?
Best,
Loyal Reader

Hello! I am Caleb. I like trucks. Gas makes them go vroom on the highway. My favorite truck is the red one because it goes beep. Beeeeeeep! Beep-beep! Vrrrrrrrrr-pshhhhhhkkkkk-boom! Heeheeheeehee! *
*Editor’s note: these noises are made as Caleb crashes two red Tonka trucks into each other. This may indicate that Caleb is urging the reader to speak up for oneself and voice their academic frustrations.
Q:
Dear Caleb the boy supergenius,
I had a really tough time going home this year for Thanksgiving. I love my mom and dad, but sometimes when they start talking about politics, things can get really tense. How would you advise me to begin opening up to my parents?
Truly,

A:
Mommy! I love mom. She is great. I love her mac and cheese! It tastes soooooooo yummy. *
* Editor’s note: intriguing stuff from Caleb here – one could only dream of having the idyllic familial relationship Caleb has carefully crafted. Here, he emphasizes the base needs and experiences that unite us with our family, closing the all too common divide between loved ones.
Q:
Dear Caleb the boy supergenius,
I recently moved in with my boyfriend and we’ve been having some tough conversations. How would you best address the male-female income divide and financial responsibility within a joint heterosexual household in lieu of the wage gap?
Thanks,
Loyal Reader
A:
This block goes here. And then that block can go on top with Bluey. *
*Editor’s note: Caleb appears to be stacking blocks in a similar fashion to the infamous equity fence diagram. Take note of his empowerment of Miss Bluey within this structure – clearly highlighting that the barriers to equity are not only externally inflicted, but personally reinforced. Additionally, it’s important to note that the block tower is getting pretty high, and Caleb is eyeing it like he’s about to absolutely plow through it with a Tonka truck.
