To Match Your Pretty Eyes

Open

“Why is the sky blue, Dad?“ - Daughter

“To match your pretty eyes“ - Father

“Actually, I heard blue is one of the shortest wavelengths; so, it’s diffused up to ten times more!“ - Daughter

“Why then is the sky not violet?“ - Father

“I don’t know…“ - Daughter

“Do you know what a quartz crystal is?“ - Father

“Yah, it’s the name of your watch“ - Daughter

“You’re very observant… A quartz crystal resonates at such a regimented frequency that my watch stays true to time because of it…“ - Father

“Wow! Is that like the Crypto Mine?“ - Daughter

“What do you mean?“ - Father

“Well, the time it takes to decrypt the elliptical curve algorithm is deterministic, and society seems to be revolving around semiconductors…“ - Daughter

“Why then are there not semiconductor factories in America?“ - Father

“I don’t know… because of the alternating current of our political system?!“ - Daughter

“Do you know which states have the most electoral votes?“ - Father

“California and Texas!“ - Daughter

“You’re very observant… And which state is between those two states?“ - Father

“The Bermuda Triangle of times zones?“ - Daughter

“That’s right! We called it that when flying over Bryce, and our phones couldn’t figure out the time…“ - Father

“Well thank God we haven’t built a semiconductor factory until now; because, we would not had known where we would need a quartz crystal to keep our country regimented!“ - Daughter

“Hmph“ - Father

“and I am grey-eyed, not blue-eyed!“ - Daughter
