The Secret

"The secret to being boring is to say everything." -- Voltaire

In order not to be boring, I must not be telling you everything. Which is true. For one, the whole time she's been here, Talia has been working at her job as a test subject. She hasn't gotten promoted yet, but she has been bringing home a regular paycheck, which I figured meant it was time for a treat.



Imagine my surprise when Talia woke up an hour and a half before she had to go to work, and instead of making her late by taking her to the gym, she was able to munch on a head of lettuce and take a shower in the comfort of her own lawn.

After work that day, Talia came home with an opportunity: read a book and impress the boss. Easy enough, I thought. I took her straight to the grocery store to fulfill her desire to buy something on sale, and then asked her to read. She refused.



Can you blame her? Are you ready for the big surprise? This secret was one I didn't even know too. Talia pulled out a tomato and ate it before I realized I should be taking pictures.



Wait, there's more. Even though at this point she already had the stuffed moodlet.



So she's either a compulsive eater, or she's trying to make Hunter jealous. Which obviously isn't working. Either way, emotional eating isn't healthy.

She goes to stand in the bushes in shame.



And at first she tries her best when I tell her again to read the book.



But then she utilizes some creative problem-solving. I would have been impressed even if she weren't artificial intelligence.



Not to mention that she figures out what will work to make Hunter jealous.
