^ Oh, for sure. Topanga would want Riley to be focused on more important things than money, like learning about different cultures and religions. Of course Topanga would tell Riley about what a bat mitzvah is about.

Yeah, she'd definitely get Riley to treat the whole thing with more respect

rocky845

^ Oh, yes. Topanga would want Riley to be very knowledgeable about different religions, so of course she would make sure Riley knows about bat mitzvahs. I can see Riley really getting into the learning process, which would probably make Topanga very happy and scared: happy because Riley would be learning about something that probably doesn't get a lot of focus in schools, and scared because Riley would really get into the religion and she would want to embrace everything that is Judaism.

Probably, we know that she started trying to learn more about it after she found out about Farkle's ancestory

^ Oh, yeah! I wonder what other subjects sparked Riley's interest enough that she went into research mode. I bet Topanga gave her the occasional nudge from time to time. =)

Hmm, I'm not sure, I don't think we ever saw any mention of her learning about anything else like that... but it must have happened sometime. & I'm sure that she got her research skills from her mother

rocky845

^ Oh, yes. Riley is Topanga's daughter, so of course she would go above and beyond when she goes into research mode.

Yep, I love how they were both passionate about learning in that way

^ Yeah! Of course Topanga's child would be passionate about learning. She's a chip off the block.

Oh, I love how Riley wanted Topanga to be killer shark lawyer!Topanga, but Topanga was welcoming host!Topanga.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, that doesn't really happen that often, when Topanga isn't in her shark mode

rocky845

^ Yes, that's true. Can you imagine killer shark!Topanga telling Riley to do something? Do you think Riley gets scared of that Topanga? =)

starryeyesxx

I think so, who wouldn't get scared of Topanga?

rocky845

^ Oh, yes. If Cory, someone that had grown up with Topanga and had seen every side of her, showed that he was scared of her some of the time, then Riley didn't stand a chance.

starryeyesxx

No, I wonder if Riley ever actually saw that side of Topanga or if she just heard about it, because I don't know what she was thinking when she went up against her in Her Monster!

rocky845

^ That's a good question. I don't think Riley ever saw that side of Topanga, at least not because she did something that caused it to come out. That's why I think Riley thought she could defy Topanga and not face any consequences.
