Yali and Patience sitting across the table from each other... spelling work sheets and pencils... glares of annoyance at each other... smooth jazz not helping... “Patience I'm gonna SHRINK you and then once you're SHRINKED I'm gonna STOMP on you!”... Patience's response only resembles maniacal laughter... this incites Yali to grab her plush teddy bear and jump on the back of the couch in attempt to balance this same teddy bear on one of the silent fan blades... “YALIIIIIII!”... a few minutes later following mitigation they're back at the table after a semi-successful attempt to redirect attention back to spelling... swapping jokes and giggling...
