Sighing and rolling her eyes, Ivy put her artistic skills to work, though honestly it wasn’t much of a challenge. She just cut a rectangle in one side of the box and cut off all the sides. Holding it up to show the professor, she called, ”They look like this now. Flat. And they don’t have knobs and buttons and sticks out of the top. Ooh! It needs a remote!” she realized suddenly, putting down her TV. Taking a scrap of cardboard, she cut it into a rectangle and began drawing a very elaborate looking remote control on the surface.

Finneas had anticipated this, er, yes. He grinned, taking absolutely no offense to this. If they thought he was old, what did they think about Professor Williamson? Did they know he was Finneas' professor back in the day? Heh. Talk about yikes. Amiright!?

Still, he did appreciate that Bernadette and Claudine came to his defense. They were all such good kids. Honestly, honestly. Though... He didn't know how he felt being compared to Ms. Grantham's gran.... He still gave her a, uh, smile though. A very uncomfortable one before turning back to Ms. Taylor. "That's, er, quite true!" He nodded. "You're welcome to make your television look however you'd like." He had gone for the more vintage look simply because.... honestly? He didn't know how he was supposed to make a flat screen out of these clunky boxes. He had a big brain, but very little creativity. Alas.

"Probably gonna put it on our head to do our anchor bit. Or get shrunk down. Oh, get shrunk down! Professor! Are you shrinking us?" Phoebe glued down the buttons with a flourish before returning to smooth the edges of her screen. Didn't want to paper cut her face. "Imagine being the dummy who has to fit in a flat box because they wanted to prove the professor wrong so bad."

"Er...." He never knew what to say to this one. Everything that came out of her mouth was a surprise. He never knew what to expect. "There, er, won't be any shrinking today... Unfortunately." Was? It? Unfortunate? Though?

He didn't know why he said that.

Knowing that no one was going to stand up for her, not to Claudine or any of the other students, Ivy went back to her desk in the back of the classroom, pulled out her sketchbook, and started to draw, not wanting to be a part of the activity anymore.

Instead, she drew a TV in her sketchbook and started drawing the two anchors on the television... a woman with shoulder length voluminous hair parted to the side, and a man with a well-combed haircut and facial hair that he kept neatly trimmed...

And....... When he turned back around, he noticed Ms. Taylor was no longer working on her television and this was... concerning. Finneas bumbled over her way, looking over her shoulder to see what she was doing. "Er, Ms. Taylor... Is there a reason why you stopped working on your TV?"
