* Hi, I’m Amy.
> How long have you been Amy?
* Almost 20 years now.
> I’m not sure I understand you fully.
* I’m saying that I’m 20 years old.
> Do you believe it is normal to be saying that you’re 20 years old?
* Sure, that’s my age.
> Can you elaborate on that?
* Well, 20 years ago my mom and dad decided to have a baby. Mix in a little birds and the bees, and 9 months later…there I was.
> I see.

I’ve had a few interesting conversations with Eliza today, but I thought this part was funny. I felt like pushing her.

*I’m done.
>How long have you been done?
*You are annoying.
>What makes you think I am annoying?
*Your stupid head.
>What about your own stupid head?
*I don’t have a stupid head.
>Do you wish to be able to have a stupid head?
*no.
>Why no?

The note under the directions is a little demeaning to Eliza.

“Note: Eliza is dumb! This is common knowledge. Please don’t write to me telling me she’s dumb, or how to fix it.”

Poor Eliza.

I just had this awesome conversation with Eliza:

> Hi, I’m Eliza
* Hi, I’m Craig
> Do you believe it is normal to be Craig?
* What does that mean?
> Are such questions on your mind often?
* No
> You are being a bit negative.
* How so?
> What do you think?
* I asked you.
> Oh… ?

Conversation with a therapist? Sounds more like a conversation with a passive-aggressive jerk.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, so to speak! Here’s my short conversation:

* Eliza! It’s me, Roger! Remember? From the C-64 back in the eighties?
> Don’t you ever say Hello?
* Hello.
> How are you today.. What would you like to discuss?
* So you don’t remember me?
> We were discussing you, not me.
* But all that time we spent together…
> I see.
* You’re distant.
> Do you sometimes wish you were distant?
