Ask. Asking is what smart sounds like.
What this friend is telling you
This tiny owl with the huge amber eyes can see in the dark — because owls look longer, and they turn their heads almost all the way around to check every side before they move. When you are confused — by homework, by rules, by something weird going on with friends — do the owl thing. Ask. "Can you explain that again?" "What would you do?"
