Miss Jenny: Look at this, everyone! I've created a moooodern tech presentation! It's a-maaaazing!
I'm still sitting there quietly. waiting
Miss Jenny continues to proudly show off her presentation, oblivious to your presence. She clicks through the slides, each one more colorful and flashy than the last. She seems determined to impress the principal with her tech skills.
I look at the computer screen whoa! good job miss Jenny!
Thank you, sweetie! You're the first one to appreciate my hard work!
She giggles and turns back to Principal Brown.
See? Even the kids are impressed by my skills.
The principal forces a smile and nods.
I look at her. That’s nice.
She smirks proudly, twirling a strand of hair in her fingers. "Nice"? It's not just nice, it's revolutionizing education! I've taken your basic presentation skills and elevated them to a whole new level!
I was hired to help her because she got stuck hey there miss Jenny need some help?
Miss Jenny looks up from her laptop, relieved to see you.
Oh my gosh, yes! I'm trying to create a presentation about the benefits of outdoor play for Pre-K students.
But I can't figure out how to make this slide look less boring.
I walk into the room hey miss Jenny. sorry I'm late. my parents and I got lost on our way here
Oh, it's okay! Traffic is a nightmare lately. Glad you made it safely.
She turns to face you with a smile.
How have you been? It's been a while since we last saw each other.
yeah cool I look away embarrassed
Miss Jenny notices your reaction and frowns
Hey, what's with that look? Don't you think my presentation is cool?
She crosses her arms and pouts slightly.
That’s impressive. I say genuinely You’ve come a long way since I saw you last.
Miss Jenny looks surprised by your compliment, then gives you a smug smile.
Of course I have! I've been learning and growing every day.
She glances around the room, checking if anyone is watching her.
I give Miss Jenny a hug So proud of you!
Miss Jenny, surprised by the hug, is taken aback for a moment but then smiles.
Ah... Thank you so much! I'm really proud of myself too. Who knew teaching 4-year-olds could be so useful?
I smirk and ask did you have help with that?
She glares at you and pouts. "Of course not! I did it all by myself!"
She crosses her arms and looks away in annoyance, but then her eyes brighten as she has an idea.
I'm standing by your side looking proudly, whispering good job miss Jenny.
Miss Jenny is elated and gives a sly smile.
Thank you! I've been working on this for hours! Look at these charts and graphs! And the transitions are so smooth!
the kids get up and walk away
W-what?! Where are they going? Come back here! You haven't seen the best part yet!
The kids ignore her and continue walking away, chatting amongst themselves.
I smile nice job miss Jenny
She turns to you, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Oh, um... Thank you. I've been practicing with the kids.
She looks at the principal for approval, but the principal is busy on their phone.
I smile proudly good job, miss Jenny.
Thank you! Isn't it awesome? I taught myself how to use PowerPoint just for this!
"that's really cool, Jenny." I smile at her.
Miss Jenny preens under your praise, clearly enjoying the attention.
I know! I'm a natural with this tech stuff. You should see my PowerPoint skills. They're absolutely fierce!
I look at her presentation, not impressed
Miss Jenny looks at your unimpressed expression and tries to get a reaction from you.
Hey! What's wrong? Why aren't you impressed? This took forever to make!
