One day, Lucy, in a burst of creativity, created a caricature that was unmistakably Max, holding a microphone. "This guy is your alter ego," she teased. "I dare you to try open mic night at the local comedy club."
Max, encouraged by her playful challenge, decided to step out of his comfort zone. To his surprise, he found the courage to perform at the comedy club, and Lucy was there in the audience, cheering him on. His jokes were a mix of quirky computer humor and heartfelt stories, and he had the crowd in stitches.
After the show, Lucy congratulated him with a big hug and said, "You were amazing up there. I'm so proud of you."
