Excellent  Were playin

Are you familiar with how ZOOM operates?

No 

    Are all your students on screen at once

No. Thirteen in the first session, eleven in the second. Three weeks in I thought I’d have some fun with them and turned the color off, presented myself in black and white; it took them more than twenty minutes to recognise I wasn’t in color.

A little girl saw it first

Yes. How did you know?

I had girls  They notice everything right down to gifts from Santa Claus wrapped in Christmas paper that was also used by the family to her

                     Sharp cookies

Yes.  She askedsuddenly, Miss Mabille, why are you gray? Are you feeling okay?

I told her I was fine. I also said that years ago people on television . .

. . Tryin to liken ZOOM to TV

It is, wouldn’t you agree? Anyway, years ago people were seen in gray-scales.

 

Yes

So she said Do you mean that people long ago were gray?

Ohmy

Isn’t that precious?

It is

Still cretins?

Yup
