When I was in 3rd grade, I got in trouble for putting curses in a Mad Libs book during lunch hour. We were laughing our asses off and the lunch lady monitor came over, took the Mad Libs book and sent me and my cohort “to the principals office.”
I remember crying for like 2 hours thinking I was going to be in so much trouble as they “called my parrents”. But when my mom came in she was like “OK but look, he got all the parts of speech right: adj, verb, noun – even the adverbs.”

Well, probably no one, but it’s an anecdote that’s tangentially related to this cool case study: so go fuck yourself if you don’t like hearing my life’s story.

What other games can you play with your potential conversions to get them to interact more?
