3.
Snarky, he definitely does snarky.
We took the trash out again.
and he glanced at me.
“You know when you get your doctorate
I’m going to be there.”
“Really?” Well that was news.
“Yeah, and I’m going to call you trash girl.”
“Ahhh,” I said, “So in twenty years you’re still
going to be teasing me?”
“Oh hell yes, you won’t live this down. I won’t let you.”

“NO, don’t put your trash in there! That’s the full bag!
Go to the other one!”
“Uhmm, you do realize that he only had one raisin right?
ONE RAISIN.”
He whirled at me, “One raisin could mean the difference between
you taking out the trash and falling and lying in a puddle of juice.”
I nodded. “Fair enough.”
He pointed to the bag-“you get that one, the juicy one Kim.”
I attempted to switch bags... “Oh no you don’t. Don’t even think about it.”
5. About Computer Games
“Last time I was down by -22.”
“Yeah, I know, I just kept shooting your head.
You can play now...
The computer is supposed to adapt to the skill level
of the player but I’m not sure it would in your case.”
“Uhmmm, why not?”
“Eh, I don’t think the computer generated characters would
just stand there without turning.”
“Hey!”
“Hehehe... right.”
“I think you need to get the game with the teddy bears.”
“Don’t even talk to me...”
“But they’re commando teddy bears... with machine guns...”
“Could you win?”
“Well, no, but I could at least enjoy dying.”
