The real brain

The other day I told a young person, who was complaining to me about only being able to be creative when it involved weapons, "Use your real brain, not your video game brain. Turn off your video game brain and use your real brain." "But that is my real brain!" "No, it's not. You are selling yourself short. You can do it!" And he and his friends did. And they came up with great and imaginative ways to show their real genius and solve the problems they were faced with.

Moments like these I love.

Another time, "Can I do this?" "No. If I let you do that then everyone will want to do that, and pandemonium will ensue." "Huh?" he, he. Could you hear me giggling?
