Then there's this kind of deep sigh, and I was like, okay, what?
What's going on?
And she was like, you're taking the pieces I need.
And I was like, oh, wait, are you following the instructions?
And she was like, yes, dude, this is what we're doing.
And I was like, huh, are you having fun?
And she was like, yes, I'm having fun.
But it was just like, what?
