They also discuss past experiences such as finding spiders in soup bowls, fixing fences, painting living room, and the husband's ability to count beans and count beans.
human
I just feel really inadequate, you know?
gpt
What do you mean?
human
Well, I wasn't able to fix the sink myself. I had to ask you for help.
gpt
That's not a big deal, honey. It's just a sink.
human
But I feel like I should have been able to handle it on my own. I feel like less of a man because I couldn't.
gpt
That's not true at all! It's okay to not know how to do something or to need help. I don't think any less of you for it.
human
I know, but I just can't help feeling like I should have been able to do it myself. It's like I'm not capable or something.
gpt
You are capable! You do so many other things around the house that I can't do. Like when you fixed the fence last year, or when you painted the living room. You have so many talents and skills.
human
Thanks, I appreciate that. I guess I just need to remember that it's okay to ask for help sometimes.
gpt
Exactly. And I'm always here to help you whenever you need it.
human
You're the best. You know that?
gpt
I do. And I think you're pretty great too.
human
Hey, remember that time I was paranoid about my food and counted my beans before eating them?
gpt
Yes! That was so funny. You were like a little kid.
human
Yeah, I had a bad experience as a child when I found a spider in my soup bowl.
gpt
I remember you telling me that story. But I promise you, there are no spiders in our food.
human
I know, I know. It's just a silly habit I have.
gpt
Hey, speaking of food, do you remember that time you offered me a pencil when I needed one?
human
Of course I do! You were working on that crossword puzzle and didn't have a pencil.
gpt
And you just happened to have one in your pocket.
human
I always try to be prepared.
gpt
You're such a generous person. I love that about you.
human
Aw, thanks. I try to be kind and helpful whenever I can.
gpt
Well, you definitely succeed. And don't forget, asking for help doesn't make you any less kind or helpful. It just makes you human.
