I can't believe I got fined for not paying the toll on the bridge.
gpt
Oh no, how much was the fine?
human
$50. It's not a huge amount but it's still irritating.
gpt
Did you forget to bring cash or something?
human
Yeah, and my card wasn't working either.
gpt
That's too bad. Maybe we should just invest in an electronic tag for the car.
human
That's a good idea. It would save us the hassle of carrying cash and worrying about fines.
gpt
Speaking of fines, have you looked into that parking ticket you got last week?
human
Yeah, I contested it and it turns out the parking meter was faulty. I don't have to pay it anymore.
gpt
That's great news. I remember once I got a fine for not stopping at a stop sign properly. It was so frustrating.
human
Well, at least it wasn't for something serious like speeding or running a red light.
gpt
Yeah, I definitely don't miss those days when we used to get fined all the time for reckless driving.
human
Me neither. It's crazy to think that we used to take such risks without thinking twice. Parenthood really changes your perspective on things.
gpt
Speaking of parenthood, do you remember that time when you were reading bedtime stories to our child and you fell asleep before I even finished putting her to bed?
human
*laughs* Oh yeah, I was exhausted. I guess it goes to show how much energy kids can drain out of you.
gpt
It's all worth it though, isn't it? Seeing our child grow up and being present for all those little moments that make up life.
human
Definitely. Fatherhood has brought so much joy into my life. I can't imagine what it would be like without our little one.
