Things I asked Chatgpt to do this week:
- prep an outline for a presentation (usually takes me 1-1.5 hours to do)
- review and summarize routine blood test results
- calculate cooling loads
It’s brilliant.
Zeyad: I feel sad. Nadia (9 months) still hasn’t said my name.
Me: she’s still young, she’ll learn it soon.
Z: no she’s not too young! She’s already saying mama and Mbappe!
Me: Do you know what assist means?
T, 9 yrs: if you shoot a man and he only has 1 life, and then another player shows up and has no lives left, then that’s an assist.

Z, 7yrs: you know that black holes are a myth?

Parenting realization: kids have the best gossip, but the moment you show the slightest interest in said gossip they’ll stop talking.
Parenting realization brought to you by my left eyebrow twitching at the wrong time.
Favorite Z quotes this week:
“I want noodles with Chompsticks for lunch”
“You *know* that football is my life” (just started watching/playing this summer)
“Ive been waiting for a long time, like decades!” It was 2 days earlier, and he’s 7.
Not sure if this has to do with memory or another aspect of brain function but lately I can’t tell if something I’ve thought was part of a dream or an Instagram story.
