I was hanging out at school with a new friend I had made from class. We were having a conversation about something when he had one of those moments when you completely forget what you were about to say. Totally normal. But then, all of a sudden, he goes:
“Think think think!”
…What…the fuck?
I guess I must have looked taken aback that he would need such an aggressive method to get himself to remember something because he asked me,
“What? Don’t you do that?”
I laughed, immediately regretted it, and replied “No”, without trying to seem condescending. Not an easy task. I’d like to think it didn’t make me look at him differently from then on… but I definitely looked at him differently from then on.
