“Mom, why do you think ghosts are intrinsically evil?”

“It’s what the science says, of course!”

“No, I mean like, what were the studies? What did they actually observe”

“Ohh, I get what you mean, Danny! Well across all reputable reports of encounters with the ghosts strong enough to matter, they’ve always attacked first and never responded to attempts at communication! There’s no reason for them to do that if they’re not evil!”

“Huh…”

…

Danny, learning about Ghost Speak and how humans can’t understand it: hmm.

Danny, learning that ghosts greet each other and bond by fighting: hmmm.

I need danny to do a deep dive and actually do a research paper on this i want danny to make an effort to be seen as danny fenton interviewing different ghosts

And this goes on for a bit and any time his parents catch him talking to ghosts he says he's doing research and well their baby boy is takeing an interest in their work they don't exactly want to tell him to stop

But at the end danny has an actual research paper with specific sections for different ghosts even a few from scientists who didn't want to just move on and hearing there was a youngser doing research and talking took the time to give their two cents

And then danny sits his parents down takes a deep breath and passes them the paper and they read through it starting off smiling thinking well it probably won't be too ground breaking only to get more and more stone faced as they read through it

Their son did what no other scientist has ever done for them took their research looked into it verified sources and danny didn't just pass them off as mad scientists no he investigated and proved them wrong

They have never been prouder and more ashamed of COURSE it was a language barrier they are interdimetional they obviously have a different way if communication and they are nigh indestructible it makes sense that they speak via physical language

I just want danny to give his parents a well reaserched paper and wait before watching his parents discuss something amongst themselves and agree before turning to danny smiling and start discussing different aspects of the paper fully ready to accept it
