Chalk Dust

Work Text:

Katie handed Reid the eraser. "Small words, Reid! They're just kids"
"If they don't get a good vocabulary now, they may never get it," Reid tried to justify some of the words in his speech. "Why do I have to go to career-day at Jacob's school anyway? Even Chris could explain what a doctor does to a bunch of kids"
"Because to five-year-olds a doctor who messes around in brains is more interesting than a doctor who counts baby-toes."
"…and Reid!" Katie called after him as he went out the door, "no diagrams of zombies eating brains on the blackboard either!"
