Me: Hey Brain
Brain: <no response>
Me: Hey Brain
Brain: <no response>
Me: HEY BRAIN?
Brain: SHUT THE FUCK UP, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Me: Whoa there. No need to yell.
Brain: Well can’t you see that I am busy?
Me: Uh,no. What’s going on?
Brain: Nothing’s going on, can’t you see the sign?
Me: What sign?
Brain: The sign over there
Me: What the heck does that mean?
Brain: Exactly what it says, “Highway work ahead, do not enter”
Me: I can read but I don’t understand
Brain: I’m trying to prepare for the future by doing some repair work on our neural highway infrastructure and right now most of it is shut down
Me: Ummmm, what does that mean?
Brain: It means that you can’t go in there. It’s pretty simple your Fatness
Me: Sure it is
Brain: I’m sorry, this all should have been done before you woke up today
Me: Okay
Brain: It’s that damn third shift. While you were sleeping they should have been getting all this done so when the traffic hit the neural highway this morning you wouldn’t have even noticed
Me: Huh?
Brain: Instead of doing their job they were off gallivanting with some miniature, talking, invisible elephant named Bob and his friend, a giant hedgehog named Spiny Norman
Me: Oh no, not Spiny Norman
Brain: You know him?
Me: Yep, he’s British.
Brain: Well, when the neural highway workers came into work they were in no shape to do anything so I sent them home. I should fire them all but I don’t know if I can get workers to replace them
Me: Uh boy
Brain: What a pain in the ass
Me: What are they fixing?
Brain: Just cleaning up some damage left by winter. You know, a few potholes, some guard rail damage. Never mind the work they’re doing trying to uncover all those emotions we keep burying.
Me: Why don’t you just have them stick to the pot holes and guard rail
Brain: You need to understand there’s a lot of work to do in here
Me: I’m sure, I’d just focus on the highway and leave the emotions alone
Brain: Good try Fat Man
Me: No really
Brain: I figure we’ll have those emotions uncovered later today. Maybe even right before you go to sleep
Me: Oh great
Brain: Hey, we’re just trying to be proactive here
Me: I’m sure you are
emotions in our family? Right!
