Marie's Text: C now claiming my imaginary friend is real.
Panel 5:
Marie's Text: C and EM in huge screaming argument re. reality of EM. I have taken refuge under nearby tree.

Marie, like the majority of my students, has mastered the art of
texting while she should really be concentrating on something else.
