I take a little girl to school who is 7, the other morning on the way to school I said “my brain feels so scrambled I am thinking to many things, does that ever happen to you” She replied “no” I then said “really I would have thought all the things that you have to learn, could sometimes make it feel scrambled” her response “no I just take in information I store the bits I need to learn by and delete the rest in the recycling bin”
I then said that is very clever so what happens if someone is nasty to you?
Her response “I press the delete button in my brain and they disappear”.
She is a bubbly happy little girl.
Anyway.. now I am in here. I would say that it is that simple. Sometimes I get annoyed about something just to check I can. I have seen people post loads of 'rubbish' in the steam room that makes me think... 'ummm is life really that complicated?'. I have a good day everyday. I am ecstatically happy with my life. So, if something niggles, sometimes I make a choice to get cross. I will have a little rant and then 'press the delete button'
try it... the 7 year old is right copy her.
The beauty of a childs mind eh? I think its a lovely way to think.
On the other hand she could be thinking ( as Im pretty sure my daughter would have done at 7):
What can I say to get this conversation to stop.
Either way she sounds like a fine specimen of humanity. All credit to you.
If some people's brains were like computers, I'd hope they'd install a spell checker.
Mind you an Anti-Virus would be handy too... As would a junk mail filter.
(EDIT : I quite like a pop up now and then though, so I probably wouldn't block them... On here I may actively encourage them.)
The main problem in my brain isn't the amount of rubbish stored in the Trivia section. It's how often the Head of Trivia gets to the microphone.
