17-52: home schooling
Eva: Alright, Julia. Let's do this thing!
Julia: By 'do thing thing' do you mean my on-line schooling zoom meeting?
Eva: Yes. Time to get going. I love zoomies and I love school.
Julia: But when I'm in school you're usually napping.
Eva: It is a good deal. Now if you'll stop talking for a minute I have some learning to do.
Julia: Okay.
Eva: Oh! I know the answer! Turn on your microphone so that I can tell your teacher the answer!
Julia: Eva, she hasn't asked a real question yet. She was just asking if we're keeping to a regular schedule and what we're doing to stay motivated.
Eva: I know. I heard her. And the answer is that yes, I've been sure to wake everyone up to feed me breakfast at the usual time and that birds motivate me!
Julia: Dude, you've got to chill. There are no points for answers to conversational questions.
Eva: No points for answers to questions? I thought school was all about receiving external rewards for being right about stuff.
Julia: Not entirely.
Eva: Not entirely? Well then your school is backwards. Whenever I'm learning something people tell me that I’m a good girl, pat my head and feed me cookies.
Julia: That would be odd in human school.
Eva: What's odd is your attitude - and this whole on-line learning thing. How ever is your teacher going to send me cookies or pat my head for being right about stuff? Is there even a treat dispenser in this laptop?
Julia: Eva, like I said you need to chill a bit. Laptops don’t have cookie dispensers.
Eva: I'll tell you when I need to chill. My presence is the only thing keeping this on-line school business interesting. And no cookie dispenser on this thing? That makes it more of a craptop than a laptop.
Julia: Wow.
Eva: Now, unless someone starts calling me a good girl and petting my head I'm out of here and looking for a school with a better hot lunch program.

Eva joined Julia for her school zoom meeting the other day. With COVID restrictions schooling has moved online with occasional virtual classes with the teachers. The virtual class was not as exciting as Eva had hoped. But at least both of Julia's teachers thought that Eva was adorable.
