Some take a little longer than others.<br /><br />"On this particular day, Kassi was feeling extra overwhelmed with her math when she looked down and saw Leo on her shoe.<br /><br />"[He was] just living his best life whistling 'September' from Earth Wind and Fire.<br /><br />"She thought it was so funny that she had to record it."
