Hogwarts Does IT

(I am at school working on a project while the class works on theirs. All week the Internet has been on and off in the school. The girl in front of me suddenly jumps up.)

Girl: “The Internet just turned off! How can i save my project?!”

Me: “Use a flashdrive.”

Girl: “A what?”

(I spend the next minute explaining what a flashdrive is, believing she may call it something else, even showing her one.)

Girl: “I’ve never seen one of those before.”

Me: “WHAT?! You’re a junior and you’ve never heard of a flashdrive?”

Girl: “No.”

(After showing her how it works, I put her files on it and explain how to put them on her home computer.)

Girl: “So, the project will just be on my computer when I plug this is?”

Me: “Yes.”

Girl: “It’s like magic!”
