It’s not the correct answer I’m after - it’s the conversation. If that were the goal, I could’ve just googled it myself. I’d much rather spend a few minutes speculating with you about what bird it might’ve been than have you immediately look up the right answer.
In most cases, when you feel tempted to take out your phone during a face-to-face interaction, you probably shouldn’t.
I’m just too curious. Sometimes I even Google answers for questions on TV shows that I know will be answered 5 seconds later.
