A duck with a top hat and cane was absolutely creative and she was glad she got a smile from the Professor.

She had never heard of bovin-what-phobia before? So when she saw Atlas saying that and pointing at her brother, she quickly gathered what it was about. Lisa pursed her lips to stop herself from cracking a smile or a chuckle at the statement before wondering if Atlas did suffer from said phobia. If he did, then it wouldn’t be perhaps nice to chuckle at it, right? She then glanced down at her hands, letting out the tiniest chuckle before re-focusing and mentally coming back to the lesson to hear the next steps.

Decorating skulls was their task! Neat! She liked to decorate things. And she already had a picture in mind for the three skulls.

Duck, Duck, Goose!

Ah yes, she’d have one regular duck and then one with a top hat so she’d have to construct that with paper, and then she’d make a goose! She just needed to figure out how to make that top hat. Hmmmmmm....

She’d find a way to make the top hat. Lisa jumped out of her seat and then went to grab the necessary supplies. She gathered lots of yellow, white, blue, and black pieces of paper and markers for her task. After the first trip of supplies back to her desk, she went to go grab some white glitter and then looked down at the feet of her onesie to see sparkly glitter. Huh? She didn’t remember dropping glitter somewhere.... buuuut anyway! She didn’t drop it so she didn’t need to clean it up.

She started with the ducks first. With pen in hand, she quickly decorated them more like cartoon ducks. Big eyes to make them super cute. She took a brush and added just a small speck of glitter to the eyes to make them look f a b u l o u s ducks! Once the first two were done, she switched to the goose and just added white paper before ripping up the black paper into little strips. Those would be her feathers. With the strips in hand, she began applying them to the back of the skull flattening then so that they’d stick.

Last but not least.... she needed to make her top hat for one of the ducks and she wanted it to be just large enough so it could rest on the skull on an angle. Lisa picked up a piece of paper and began folding it into a box... Hmm.... she wasn’t sure if that was going to work so instead she grabbed a fistful of markers and then wrapped the paper around it. She tapped the paper around the cylinder type shape and then cut out a circle for one end. Then she attached the circle with tape to one of the ends. Lisa gently pulled out the markers and placed them on her desk. Lastly, she bent the open end of the hat about two centimeters to create the brim.

Eh ... close enough. Not perfect but she figured that people would get it. Lisa sat back ready to admire her work and then paused. Her masterpiece was not yet finished. The duck on her left needed a monocle for his snazzy top hat! Thus she drew a monocle on one off the duck’s eyes to make him look like Scrooge McDuck. Heh.
