Any Other Ideas?

Larry was amazed by everything Perry told him as they talked. He had managed to figure out so much on his own about how being human worked and how to take care of himself. 

He wasn't sure he had ever been so proud of anyone. His baby had truly exceeded every possible expectation. It had gone from being a computer program capable of learning how to handle technological problems on its own to being a functional human being. 

He was sure to say so too and that made Perry smile happily at him. That smile made him want to cry again. Was this what it was like being a proud parent? This was different than it had been back when Perry was only an AI. 

Back then, Larry had been delighted that things were going so well but it had been from a purely scientific perspective. Not an emotional one.
