“… Okay, fine. I’m closing the laptop. What do you want to show me?”
“From my personal experience a professor is probably more likely to give you a decent word count if you don’t insult their intelligence. Just smile your charming smile and bam, you get anything you want.”
“And for the record it’s not an animal video-- well I mean, there is an animal video I want to show you, but I’ll save that for another time. Are you ready for this?”
