“Do you ever worry we’re too attractive?”

“Ha! Daily.”

“No, I’m serious. We’re supposedly research scientists, but we barely do any research. Instead we’re constantly, like…falling in love, betraying and getting betrayed, having sex in closets, and delivering heartfelt monologues. I worry we’re not actually scientists at all, but sexy actors in a show about scientists.”

“Interesting. How would we test this hypothesis?”

“I think better in the hot tub.”

“Now that you mention it, it does seem strange we have one in the lab.”

My adorable rats, imagining themselves as human actors portraying scientists. Damn, this acid is strong!
