The Scrapper Schools Jess

 Jess needed to be able to screen share in a google meet.  Typically, she uses zoom, so this was new, but Max uses it for school all the time.  He drew her this diagram of what the screen looked like to explain.

In a unrelated event, later that day, he came out of his room and told Jess, "Mom, we're all out of scotch."  Given the state of the world today, it took Jess a few seconds to realize he meant the tape.
