Me: "Oh! Here's something I did today: I made a spreadsheet of the things we want to see in Paris, their costs, discounts, closing days, and other notes. Because I am an enormous dork."

Elizabeth: "You made ... a spreadsheet."{pause} "You are, in fact, the biggest dork I have ever known."

Me: "Well, first I was making a list."

Elizabeth: "I mean - useful! But - dorky."

Me: "But it was all messy, so I made a table in Excel."

Elizabeth: "Did you color code?"

Me: "No."

Elizabeth: "But there is formatting involved? Did you background-color the top row?"

Me: "No."

Elizabeth: "Okay, so you're not the biggest dork in the world."
