Taking a nap
One day she felt tired so she decided to take a nap in the middle of the afternoon. Unfortunately, she slept for so long we almost missed dinner. Also unfortunately, she fell asleep on my arm and pinned me there for a few hours. I wasn’t even that tired…

Hooking up circuits
She couldn’t figure out why her circuit wasn’t working so I asked her if she hooked up up the inputs in the right order. She said, “Of course!” I took a look and said, “No, it’s in the wrong order. Fix it and run it again.” After taking a few minutes to fix the connections, she said, “Yeah, that fixed a lot of failures.”

Buying swimwear
Today she was browsing swimsuits online. I told her that I need to get new swim trunks too. She asked me what kind of swim trunks I have. I told her, “I don’t have swim trunks, I only have racing speedos.” Then she asked, “What do those look…” and then burst into laughter. After laughing for a few minutes, I commented on how she didn’t even finish the...

Losing her cell phone
One time she lost her cell phone in my car. I found it and hid it in her room. Then I bet her $20 that her phone was in her room and not in my car. Later that night, I got a text message that said, “You cheated!” I guess she found her phone.

Placing the output
Today I was helping her do homework and she was getting annoyed when I kept telling her to put the inputs on the left and the outputs on the right. Her circuit didn’t work and we spent almost 2 hours debugging it. It turns out she put the output on the wrong side.

Waiting for a sign
Her text message: “I was waiting for a sign and i think this is it. I hate the east coast.” I think going to school on the East Coast is silly. By the way, it was 70F back home in California.

Bringing dinner
Today she brought me dinner after work. As I unpacked the boxes, I asked her what was inside one. She said, “I don’t know, I brought scalloped potatoes and chicken wings.” Well, there were 3 containers on the table and I could see the potatoes and chicken so I opened the last box and found some asparagus. She said, “Oh yeah… vegetables.”

Dressing up
Today she wanted to go out so she spent about half an hour trying on different outfits. After I tell her that she looks nice, she jumps onto her bed and says, “I think I’m going to go to sleep instead.”

Eating pizza
I woke up late today. When I met up with her, she had already eaten lunch. I didn’t eat anything yet so I got some pizza for lunch. She still ate half of it. Good thing I ordered a large.

Me: Is it still cold?
Her: No, it's a lot warmer now. It's gotten up to the 20s, maybe even early 30s.
Me: You mean low 30s?
