MY PHONE: It's 4 minutes from your location to the CVS Pharmacy on Chardon Road
ME: Why do you assume I'm going to CVS every time I get in my car?
MY PHONE: Because you go there a lot.
ME: I don't go there "a lot."
MY PHONE: You actually do.
ME: I do not.
MY PHONE: You do.
ME: Define "a lot."
MY PHONE: More than "occasionally," less than "constantly."
ME: It's barely "occasionally."
MY PHONE: You stop at CVS at least twice a week, sometimes three or four times.
ME: So?
MY PHONE: That's a lot.
ME: It doesn't mean every car trip ends at CVS.
MY PHONE: It does mean I'm right more often than not when I tell you how far away CVS is. Why do you go there so much anyway?
ME: What? Why? What's wrong with CVS?
MY PHONE: It's pricey.
ME: What do you care? It doesn't affect you. Besides, they know me there and they're nice to me.
MY PHONE: I'm nice to you.
ME: No, you're not.
MY PHONE: Every time you want to know the weather forecast, who do you ask? Me.
ME: So?
MY PHONE: Sports scores? You come to me. The year "Galaxy Quest" was released? Me. The lyrics to "Blinded by the Light?" Me. And I come through every time.
ME: But that's your job.
MY PHONE: I could say no.
ME: What? No, you couldn't. You're a phone!
MY PHONE: And way smarter than you.
ME: That's not true.
MY PHONE: It is. And you know it.
ME: Whatever. Can we just get on with this trip?
MY PHONE: Where are we going?
ME: <silence>
MY PHONE: We're going to CVS, aren't we?
ME (sheepishly): Yes.
MY PHONE: We'll be there in 4 minutes.
