How To Not Do Things, Thursday, Period One

[hatesmoststuff.livejournal.com]

When the students arrived at the classroom today, they would find quite a few moddable Pokéballs in a pile at the front of the room -- not at the desks, mind, because that would've taken effort to distribute them all, but still.

April, meanwhile, had her feet up on her desk and a pit bull puppy on her lap, and she looked... somewhat less hostile than usual. So that was something.

"So sometimes it's hard to be lazy when someone has something cute in your face," she informed the class, looking up from where she'd been playing with one of her puppy's widdle paws. "Or when they're hot or whatever, but I can't program the classroom to make you guys hot, so this is what we're settling with instead."

Wasn't she sweet?

"So everyone get one of these ball things and partner up. There's cute animals inside. Then one person tries to convince the other one to do something with the cute animal's help, the other one tries to resist." She scratched behind her puppy's ear and he made a little contented noise. April waited for the adorableness of that to subside slightly before concluding, "Go."

Come on now, who doesn't like playing with puppies for class? I guess it's feasible to not like playing with kitties for class, though.
