This is the trouble with school: they don’t give us enough time to think. That’s what I like about the night: time out to think about what I want to think, not what I’ve been assigned to think. I like to sit around with a friend, be myself, and share my thoughts. Sometimes, this leads to a loud discussion. Like tonight. It starts innocently enough. I am thinking about thinking when my friend offhandedly says, “Penny for your thoughts.” This ticks me off. “Are you saying that my thoughts are worth only a penny?” No, of course not. I only thought Oh no, don’t tell me your thoughts. I'm sure I can’t afford them.” I think it’s time to go home. I’m tired.” No wonder, you're not used to thinking so much in one night.” All this yelling wakes up Mother. She storms into the room, bellowing, Just what do you think you are doing? I give up.
