I just don't know if you don't you're along the night.

SPEAKER_06 1:53

If you say so, I believe you. Because it's your birthday. Aren't you glad it's your birthday?

SPEAKER_05 2:06

To be honest, it's just the one day. And what I'm happy is today, nothing bad happened to me so far, so that I'm happy. I get but I'm also very happy to make a birthday cake for me. Very nice.

SPEAKER_06 2:19

You're welcome. I think it was a very, very cakey. I think the decoration might have been a bit bad, but yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:29

I think it's already good.

SPEAKER_06 2:34

Do you want um or for the hour? Okay, kidding. Okay. Do you want to now or do you want to later? Because that's gonna be.

unknown 3:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 3:33

I don't want to confuse you, so I'm not gonna say exactly.

SPEAKER_05 3:54

I think you grew up uh as a mentally relatively healthy kid. That's good. Thank you. You do the thing with uh uh mental health kids too.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

Oh okay.

SPEAKER_05 4:10

You dress up, you put makeup on, you do sports, you have uh friends to social, hang around.

SPEAKER_06 4:19

I think the channel is pretty normal.

SPEAKER_05 4:23

Noto you are not very spoiled or upset for something which is super efficient, outrage, like uh luxury rent or we buy clothes, we buy you know necklace or earrings or your thing.

SPEAKER_06 4:41

But you're not like uh nothing another worth of money. I saw a girl in my class like to me buy earrings, I could have so easily made myself. I could you know what? 400 eight euro. Yeah, she's rich, I guess. You do you, I guess.

SPEAKER_05 5:23

And also when we travel, we sometimes go to like in Singapore and we go or we go to Egypt, we go to beach vacation, five star, four star resort. He also seems very okay with that. And sometimes we go to some place uh relatively small, digital, you know, all these things also.

SPEAKER_06 5:47

I should be grateful that we're even going places like now, like in Jackson, nobody has ever been on a plane. Ever. Like I gotta wear in like first grade, but still it's like there's a difference.

SPEAKER_05 6:02

It happens, like uh when we were in Jackson, sometimes uh uh in PNG, some of the colleagues uh need to go for business trip. And uh very often they say, Oh, I don't have a passport because they never need to leave the country. And they are also already not young anymore, so that means uh before they never really left the country, right?

SPEAKER_06 6:25

I can't imagine not having a passport. Oh my god. That's like creepy. Oh no.

SPEAKER_05 6:34

My parents now they are old, especially my father, he cannot want to go far uh go, you know travel far anymore. But when he was young, he went to Japan, he went to other countries.

SPEAKER_06 6:48

I guess the thing is like I feel like even if I were not traveling, I would still want to have a passport. Because getting a passport issue takes a while. I feel like it's just for security, you know. Like, what if I have to go somewhere spontaneously? What if I need identify I don't know, I just feel safe with the passport.

SPEAKER_05 7:10

You knew that of course of what doesn't happen to be a great yeah if I've never had a passport before I obviously wouldn't feel the need to have one.

SPEAKER_01 7:20

Yes, I've never had it's like a sick. I'm so sad.

SPEAKER_05 7:56

So this morning I asked the AI to turn one of my um documentation or a couple of documentations into a plantation, seven slides. It did pretty well. I need to do some adjustment after, but uh if I don't have that, I might take me at least the three, four times longer. Sometimes I need to get used to that. It's not my style. When you see that plantation, you know that's not for me. But the content is okay and the message delivers if it's not my style. I was sharing with my friends as well. I did not do it uh specifically for you or for others.

SPEAKER_06 8:48

No, no, I um no, it's okay.

SPEAKER_05 8:55

I feel like you want to say something, but you stop.

SPEAKER_06 8:58

No, it's just that's not how we meant it. But it's not how we just I I used no spray and now my throat is dead. I don't know why it's not after the cake.

SPEAKER_05 9:30

I feel it's right and I did not buy a cake salmon and pig. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 9:35

That cake is so funny. Yes, it's very pretty.

SPEAKER_06 9:39

I swear it didn't taste a lemony today. No, I didn't. Sorry Daddy Dad feel it's too soft, but for me it's perfect. No, I don't mind it because like it's your cake, you know. Also, I would never made a blueberry cake for him because I know he doesn't like berries so much. Stuff like that. So you need to make a cake for daddy what you I think I would make like uh uh oh my god, that guy's in my school. But oh my god, both of those guys are in my school. All three, all four of those guys are in my school. Okay, you guys. Um anyway. I don't think they recognize you anymore. I hope not. They're until seventh grade and those people are icky. Okay. Nobody was gonna say. I think I'd make more of a vanilla base. Maybe with one chocolate layer, and then some cherries or something. Because I know he likes cherries more. He just doesn't like berries, anything sour, anything with like small seeds in it, anything anything healthy.

SPEAKER_05 10:44

I know that's that's a typical oat and bold. Yeah, exactly. Well, you know, we like sweet, we like so it's not too hard. Yeah, yeah. I don't know why in the past my medicine did not recognize here. Don't wait for me to get uh direction and we have to do it for that. I remember I don't know why I remember once I damage my car. That was a stressful in terms of sliding.

SPEAKER_06 12:03

Oh yeah. I remember I was thinking about telling you that you were still going backwards, but then I was like, Wait, maybe she wants to go backwards, and you you don't know. No, trust me, I'm always thinking what I thought very wrong. I'm I don't know why it's okay because you're not gonna be. No, no, just let me have you There's no one behind you. Who's gonna stop you? Thank you, Mom.
