(Em)powered by a Battery

L: "What is that long gray thing next to your computer?"

Me: "What? This?"

L: "Yes. Is it a computer battery?"

Me:"No. Here, press that big square in the middle."

L presses.

L and I watch.

Me: "Did you feel anything?"

L: "No. Was I supposed to?"

Me: "No. Because it's a computer battery."

L is not a computer battery, but she is recharging right now.
