Conversation is flowing freely. Mom and teenager are having a great discussion about school, homework, grades, college brochures littering the mailbox, the usual. Mom stumbles on a thought that needs to be thoroughly thought out before being verbalized. Conversation halts. Teenager breaks the silence: "OK. This is scaring me."
"Why?"
"Because usually when you think like that it's a bad sign."
"How did you know I was thinking about something?"
"Because you think VERY loudly."
Insert Scooby Doo-ish "rhuh?" here. Loud thoughts? Hmmm. I had no clue the ol' brain made so much noise. Is this a problem? Do big thinks make a louder sound than smaller thinks? Is there a WD40 for thoughts? Me thinks I need to find some.

Yeah, I think it has to do with middle-heimer's kicking in. More rpm's needed in the old noggin' to keep it up to speed... or something like that...Something I can definitely relate to!
