an imaginary conversation about brains

I wish I could just turn my brain off sometimes, don’t you?

Don’t I what? Wish I could turn your brain off? Definitely.

Why would you turn my brain off? Don’t you like the way I think?

Is this a trick question?

Does this brain make my butt look big?

Your brain and your butt are both very attractive.

Thanks.

You’re very welcome.

So what is it about my brain that you would turn off?

The part that never lets anything slide.

I don’t know how to respond to that.

You can be pretty relentless sometimes.

I thought you liked that about me.

Mostly I do, but sometimes you can be hard to deal with.

That makes me feel a little like a misbehaving toddler.

You don’t misbehave, but sometimes you are overly persistent about things in the same way as a toddler. It is frustrating.

Maybe I should try not needing to be right all the time.

The thing that really sucks is that you usually are

I know.

Modest…

I’ve been right about stuff my whole life. I am not proud of it. It just…is.

I see.

I will begin working on being less relentless immediately. By going to sleep.

Goodnight, my favorite big brainiac.

Goodnight, you.
