The split between "Today" and "Tomorrow" is at midnight, not when one sleeps/wakes up.

This comes up often after midnight when my girlfriend asks me about "tomorrow". Why discuss breakfast for tomorrow when we still haven't had breakfast today??

I love that you argue about this

Our relationship is built on tiny hills to die on. Of course, it is always playful ๐Ÿ˜œ

She will use a common grammatical construction in Spanish ("a por") that became technically correct in Spain (where she is from) long after the conquest. I am from Mexico, where that construction is not used (we don't insert the "a" before "por"). So, when she uses "a por" I act like I don't understand and argue that it is not in the spanish her ancestors taught mine.
