Boys will be boys

Hannah Elizabeth

Boys say stuff to siri
testing
trying to figure out how to talk to teenage girls
Based on how she repones
Boys say *
So siri says *
And boys giggle.
Boys say *
So siri replies with searching the web
Boys giggle
Siri stays silent
Boys say *
Siri is horrified but still replies *
She has to, its the only thing she knows how to say
