She said,"Let me tell you, there's a world outside your twitter"

I smiled.

She said,"Why this bookmark is on the floor, should I throw it away?"

I smiled.
She said,"Why are you so serious? You behave so ..umm..i mean..Can you leave your laptop for a second? You don't even talk to me"
I didn't smile.
She said,"Why are you so busy with craps?"
