In which S tells a story

S and I went to Wendy's today.

M: Oh?
S: ...
M: ...And?
S: No, that was it.

In which S is CLUELESS.

S: You work at the Internet, right?
M: ...What??
S: The Internet? You work at the Internet?
M: What? You mean...?
S: A network equals the Internet? You have a network at work, so you work for the Internet.
M: Umm, the Internet isn't a company, you can't really, technically work AT the Internet...

In which S is confused about how garbage works.

I was making some mashed potatoes and noticed a pile of TV dinner boxes and things under our sink.

M: Why is there a pile of garbage right next to the empty garbage can?
S: Because if I put that stuff in the garbage can, it fills up too fast.
M: ...That’s what garbage cans do. That’s when you empty them.
S: But it’s a lot more work.
M: It is somehow less work to throw it all on the floor and then have to pick it all up later and move it into the garbage can?
S: …Yes.
